By 11:30 a.m., the university issued another update describing the situation as an active shooter incident and confirming the suspect had been \u201cneutralized.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But by then, tragedy had already struck.

In 2016, investigators said Jalloh attempted to provide funds to individuals trying to join the extremist group, formally known as the <strong>Islamic State<\/strong>. Court records from that case reveal that he sent gift card codes to someone he believed was connected to ISIS \u2014 but who was actually an undercover <strong>FBI<\/strong> employee.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities said Jalloh once also <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">travel<\/a>ed to North Carolina in an attempt to purchase an AK-47 as part of what investigators described as a plot to murder US military personnel. When that purchase failed, he later bought an AR-15 at a gun store before being arrested the very next day.<\/p>\n<p>He ultimately pleaded guilty to attempting to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization and was sentenced to 11 years in federal prison along with five years of supervised release. Federal prison records show he was released in 2024 after serving the required portion of his sentence.
