About this episode

This episode examines the ODU ROTC shooting, highlighting the actions of Lt Col Brandon Shah and the cadets who fought back against the attacker.

On March 12, 2026, a gunman opened fire inside an Army ROTC classroom at Old Dominion University. Lieutenant Colonel Brandon Shah immediately moved to stop the attacker, while cadets fought back in a desperate struggle that prevented an even greater tragedy. Investigators soon identified the gunman as Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, a former National Guard soldier and convicted ISIS supporter who had been released from federal prison in the summer of 2024.  In this episode, Margot examines the shooting, LT COL Shah’s legacy, the heroism of the cadets who fought back, and the questions surrounding Jalloh’s path to radicalization and release.
