Additional details have been released about todayโs attempted mass shooting at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia, with reports suggesting that the intended target of the shooter, identified as Ex-National Guardsman Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, 36, was ODUโs Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC). According to reports, Jalloh stormed into a classroom inside ODUโs Constant Hall and asked if this was the ROTC. When someone confirmed that it was, he launched what is now being investigated as a terrorist attack, shooting the professor several times, resulting in the death of the retired military officer in charge of the schoolโs ROTC Program. However, before he could turn his gun on the rest of the class, several cadets jumped on Jalloh, with one cadet stabbing him over 22 times, killing him, likely saving dozens of lives at ODU.

The Pentagon and National Security Council significantly underestimated Iranโs willingness to close the Strait of Hormuz in response to U.S. military strikes while planning the ongoing wide-spread strike operation against Iran, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter who spoke to CNN.
Top officials with the Trump Administration acknowledged to lawmakers during recent classified briefings that they did not plan for the possibility of Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz in response to strikes, under the belief that closing the vital waterways within the strait would hurt Iran more than the United States.
