Incident Report: Shooting at Old Dominion University

A shooting incident occurred at Old Dominion University in Virginia, resulting in the death of one victim. The event took place on Thursday, with authorities confirming that the gunman was also killed. However, the details surrounding the death of the suspect remain unclear, and the identity has not been disclosed.

The shooting was reported shortly before 10:49 AM local time (14:49 GMT) at Constant Hall, the center of the university’s college of business. University officials issued an emergency alert following the event.

Two additional victims were reported to be in stable condition. Hospital sources initially indicated that the victims were in critical condition, but updates suggest stabilization.

The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has deployed agents to support the ongoing investigation. Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger has stated that her administration is coordinating with local emergency services to extend state support to Old Dominion University and the Norfolk community.

The university has confirmed that there is no longer an active threat on the campus, leading to the cancellation of classes for the remainder of the day.

Gun violence remains a significant issue within the United States, particularly affecting educational institutions. Statistics from the advocacy group Everytown for Gun Safety indicate at least 19 incidents of gunfire on campuses, ranging from elementary schools to universities, since the beginning of 2026.

Data from The Trace, a news site tracking gun violence, reveals a decline in shootings in recent years, excluding suicides, after a spike during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, reports show that 110 individuals were shot daily in the US during 2025.

In December, a shooting at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, resulted in two fatalities and initiated a prolonged manhunt. Earlier in the same month, a separate incident at Kentucky State University resulted in one fatality.
