A shooter was killed on Thursday (March 12) after opening fire inside a building at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia, according to the university. Two people were injured during the incident. The shooting happened on Thursday morning in Constant Hall, part of the university’s College of Business. Old Dominion issued an alert saying that the shooter had been neutralized but did not immediately release additional details. The condition of the two injured victims has not been disclosed.
Shortly after noon, the university notified students and staff that the situation had been resolved.

"We heard like faint screaming, and we just looked back. We didn't know what it was, and then we heard the screams getting louder, and then that's when the alarm went off, and everyone just ran out of the building," the student told WTKR-TV. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives said on X that agents were responding at the scene. Following the incident, the university announced that classes would be suspended for the remainder of the day.
The university first notified students and faculty at about 10:50 a.m. local time, warning them of an active threat on campus. “ODU. Urgent Alert: Active threat reported at Constant Hall. Follow Run-Hide-Fight protocols. Emergency personnel responding. Avoid the area,” the alert sent to the campus community said. After the incident, the university issued one more alert saying, "Due to an active shooter situation in which the shooter has been neutralised, all classes and operations on main campus are suspended for the remainder of the day,” a university alert issued at 11:30 am said.
