The gunman, identified by an FBI spokesman as Mohammed Bailor Jalloh, 36, was also killed. He opened fire in an Old Dominion University classroom, leaving one person dead and two injured, authorities said.

The mortally wounded victim has not been identified. U.S. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll said the two people injured at the Norfolk university were Army personnel.

FBI officials said the shooting is being investigated as an act terrorism. Dominique Evans, special agent in charge of the agency's Norfolk field office, said that he shouted "Allahu Akbar" and was subdued by students who "rendered him no longer alive."

Jalloh served in the Virginia National Guard from 2009 to 2015 as a combat engineer, military officials said. He had no deployments and was honorably discharged, the officials said.

He was arrested the following year on allegations that he attempted to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization, ISIS, court documents show.

He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 11 years in prison and five years of probation. Jalloh was released in 2024. The federal probation office that appeared to oversee his supervised release did not immediately respond Thursday to a message seeking comment.

According to agovernment sentencing memo, Jalloh sent gift card codes to an undercover FBI employee who he believed was a member of ISIS. He traveled to North Carolina in 2016 to try to buy an AK-47 for what the memo described as a "plot to murder US military personnel."

The owner refused to sell it, according to the memo, and he bought an AR-15 at a gun store. Jalloh was arrested the next day.

In a separate sentencing memo, his defense team described his "radical ideals" as a shallow search for identity and purpose that did not represent a commitment to violence. He took responsibility for the crime, the memo argues, and his interactions with ISIS operatives and the FBI demonstrated his "gullibility, impressionability, lack of sophistication, and passivity."

Jalloh's life was marked by "war, trauma, violence, sexual abuse, and significant cultural and familial dislocation," the memo states, adding that he was a "bright, capable, hard-working, and kind man who had a promising future prior to his dalliance with extremism."

One of his attorneys, Ashraf Nubani, said Thursday that he'd had no contact with Jalloh since he represented him and he had no information about the shooting at Old Dominion.

"Any loss of life is tragic, and violence against innocent people is completely contrary to Islamic teachings and basic human morality," Nubani wrote in an email.

At hissentencing, Jalloh told the judge that "this entire crime is not who I am, it's not who I plan to be, and it's not who I have been."

"I've made a lot of mistakes in my life, but this mistake of giving any support to the violent and extreme organization ISIS has been the most devastating one I have ever decided to make in my life," Jalloh said.

Jalloh apologized to the court, the military and the people of the United States and said: "Every time I see any atrocities that ISIS commits, I am disgusted by it because I know this is not what I want to be a part of."

The partial shutdown began in mid-February after Congress failed to pass funding for the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees TSA.Roughly 50,000 TSA officersare continuing to work but without regular pay during the funding lapse, raising concerns about staffing shortages and absenteeism asspring break travelramps up.

"Numerous employees have reported to me that their bank accounts are at zero or negative," Johnny Jones, Secretary-Treasurer of AFGE TSA Council 100 and a Dallas-based TSA worker, told USA TODAY. "No funds for daycare, no funds for food. They just want to know why the hell they can't get paid when we have money toshoot missilesinto other countries."

Friday, March 13, will be the first time TSA workers miss their full paychecks.

As TSA officers work to find ways to bridge their own financial gaps, Jones acknowledged that airport security lines havegotten longer.

"There is a significant part of the workforce that is working other duties outside of their duties at TSA," he said. "I hope they're not panhandling at the airport. There are people who are staying at the airport, not leaving, they're sleeping in their car to conserve gas, consolidating their work life."

Fewer agents are showing up to work as a result, with White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt saying in a March 11social media postthat "300 (TSA) officers quit," citingCBS News reporting. The rates of officers calling out have more than doubled since the shutdown began, the same CBS report found, with some airports facing the absence of more than 50% of their frontline TSA workforce on some days.

"Today, travelers are facing TSA lines of up to nearly 3 hours long at some major airports, causing missed flights and massive delays during peak travel," TSApreviously told USA TODAY in a statement. "These frontline heroes received only partial paychecks earlier this month and now face their first full missed paycheck, leading to financial hardship, absences, and crippling staffing shortages."

Some airports, like Denver International Airport (DEN), have even taken up collections to help TSA employees with some basic assistance.

"Once again, DEN's federal employees are working tirelessly to ensure our airport operates efficiently and safely without getting paid. TSA employees just missed their first paycheck, and as we enter a busy Spring Break travel period, we want to do what we can to ease the stress of this moment," DEN CEO Phil Washington said in astatement. "That's why we are calling on the public, our passengers, and other airport employees to donate grocery store and gas gift cards to help make this moment a little more bearable for these federal workers."

The collection is meant to help TSA officers purchase necessities while they're not getting paid.

"Donated gift cards can be from stores like King Soopers, Safeway, Walmart, Costco, and Target. Ideal gift cards include those stores that sell both gas and food. Denominations should be in $10 or $20 gift cards only. Visa gift cards cannot be accepted," thedescription of the eventsays.

Jones said other airports are doing similar charity drives, but added that it can be harder to get and distribute assistance at larger airports. He noted that some TSA employees have lost their housing when they were unable to pay rent on month-to-month leases as a result of the funding lapse.

"We took the oath to uphold the Constitution and protect the public, but the people who are elected to Congress took the same oath, but they don't do their job and fund the government," Jones said. "We are caught in partisan politics."

Do TSA PreChek, Global Entry still work?

Despite the disruption, DHS and TSA say expedited screening programs remain available.TSA PreCheck is still operational, allowing enrolled travelers to move through dedicated lanes and typically avoid removing belts and light jackets during screening. The agency reversed an earlier plan to suspend the program after pressure from airlines and lawmakers concerned about further slowing airport checkpoints, although officials warned that TSA PreCheck lanes could be closed on a case-by-case basis based on staffing during the shutdown.

DHS announced Global Entry lines would reopen on March 11, saying the change was meant toalleviate disruptionsfor travelers amid the shutdown.

How can I check the TSA line wait times at my airport?

Travelers worried about long security lines cancheck real-time wait estimatesbefore heading to the airport.

TSA publishes historical andlive checkpoint wait-timeinformation on its MyTSA mobile app and on the agency's website, where travelers can search by airport and time of day.

Travelers should be aware that some information on theTSA website isn't being updatedbecause of the ongoing government shutdown, the agency said in a statement on Feb. 17. Banners on both the TSA and U.S. Customs and Border Protection websites warn that, "Due to the lapse in federal funding, this website will not be actively managed."

That's different fromthe last government shutdownthat ran from October to November 2025, when TSA security wait times continued to update as usual.

This time, TSA confirmed to USA TODAY via email that both theMyTSA mobile appand the agency's wait‑time tracker are down because of a partial U.S. government shutdown now in its fourth week.

The app is also supposed to show whether TSA PreCheck lanes are open. However, some airports also publish their own checkpoint wait times on official airport websites or social media feeds. Checking those before leaving for the airport can help travelers decide whether they need to arrive earlier than usual.

The actress and star of films like "Splash" (1984) and the "Kill Bill" franchise (2003 and 2005) wrotea scathing op-ed in The New York TimesMarch 6 decrying Murphy's latest buzzy TV show,"Love Story: JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette."Hannah, who was in a relationship with John F. Kennedy, Jr. prior to Bessette, has major issues with the way the series depicted her, as portrayed by young actress Dree Hemingway.

"I have generally chosen not to respond to media coverage of me," Hannah, 65,writes. "But a recent tragedy-exploitingtelevision seriesabout John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette features a character using my name and presents her as me. The choice to portray her as irritating, self-absorbed, whiny and inappropriate was no accident."

"The character 'Daryl Hannah' portrayed in the series is not even a remotely accurate representation of my life, my conduct or my relationship with John. ... I have never used cocaine in my life or hosted cocaine-fueled parties. I have never pressured anyone into marriage. I have never desecrated any family heirloom or intruded upon anyone's private memorial. I have never planted any story in the press. I never compared Jacqueline Onassis' death to a dog's."

Hannah goes on to point out an interview with the series' producer Nina Jacobsen, who reasoned that Hannah had to be portrayed in an unflattering light for narrative reasons, because she's an "adversary" to the titular couple's romance. In essence, Hannah argues, she got the villain edit.

Having watched eight out of nine episodes of "Love Story," I tend to agree with Hannah about how the series chooses to frame her character. It feels dirty, like a deliberate character assassination or smear campaign. Maybe this time, Murphy and his fellow producers have gone too far.

"Love Story" is just the latest of Murphy's ripped-from-the-headlines dramas that has garnered steep criticism from the real life people portrayed and their families. And while many shows and films are "based on a true story," Murphy in particular has a controversial knack for sensationalizing emotionally perilous moments from recent American history that trigger his real-life subjects to set the record straight. (No one was very upset about, say, classic films like "All the Presidents' Men" turning journalists into heroes or Disney depicting the 1980 men's Olympic hockey team in "Miracle.") As the number of Murphy critics piles up faster than the number of shows he can create, it's worth wondering: How long can this go on?

From a purely legal standpoint, Murphy can do almost whatever he wants when creating these series.

"The First Amendment and freedom of speech give filmmakers a lot of latitude in making movies or television shows about actual events and real people," says Los Angeles entertainment attorney Tre Lovell, owner of The Lovell Firm. "They don't have to get the permission of whomever they are depicting."

"The creator has the right to invent characters and dramatize and fictionalize certain elements of the story," adds Alex Yousefzadeh, partner at Donaldson Callif Perez LLP. Filmmakers "can legally create composite characters based on actual people, timelines may be rearranged and events can be reimagined."

It's hard to say goodbye, but fans of these TV shows will have to do just that in 2026. From fantasy epics like Starz's "Outlander" (starring Sam Heughan, left, and Caitriona Balfe, pictured) to talk shows like "The Kelly Clarkson Show" and "Late Night With Stephen Colbert," these 20 shows are ending this year.

Say it isn't so! These TV shows are ending in 2026

It's hard to say goodbye, but fans of these TV shows will have to do just that in 2026. From fantasy epics like Starz's "Outlander" (starring Sam Heughan, left, andCaitriona Balfe, pictured) to talk shows like "The Kelly Clarkson Show" and "Late Night With Stephen Colbert," these 20 shows are ending this year.

But there are limits, of course. "They are not allowed to defame anyone, use private facts or information about that person that are not widely known or in the public domain, or somehow imply that the person endorses the show without the person's consent," Lovell says.

But there are limits that also go beyond the law. Murphy and his collaborators, whether at Netflix or FX and Hulu under the Disney corporate umbrella, are trying to sell their stories to the public. And ifthe court of public opinion turns, they could lose the very thing their sensationalized TV shows are trying to achieve.

Referring to the second season of Murphy's Netflix series, "Monster," about Erik and Lyle Menendez, writer Jeffrey Berrios in 2024 questioned if audiences were turning on Murphy's lurid distortion of the truth, particularly as his productions appeared to exploit victims of crime or imply sexual relationships. (Season two implied an incestuous connection between the two brothers.)

"The backlash has almost become bigger than the show and has shifted into the questioning of Murphy's character,"wrote in Corsair magazine. The latest "Monster" installment, which debuted in 2025 about serial killer Ed Gein, had adismal 41% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

The backlash Berrios refers to has been building for a decade. It goes all the way back to 2016's "American Crime Story: The People vs. O.J. Simpson," the Emmy-winning crime drama that heralded a decade of Murphy adaptations of real life events. (Murphy first made his name in Hollywood creating fully fictional, over-the-top shows like "Nip/Tuck," "Glee" and "American Horror Story.") Families of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman, who Simpson was accused of murdering, called out the showfor a "lack of respect"to the victims of the central crime. Season 2, about the killing of fashion magnate Gianni Versace, saw his family similarly derisive of the show, saying at the time, "this TV series should only be considered as a work of fiction."

"Monster" has drawn similar backlash, especially in response to a 2022 season about serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer. Family members of Dahmer's victims, including Eric Perry, a relative of Dahmer victim Errol Lindsey, were outraged by the show. Perry said in a September 2022 statement that it was"retraumatizing."Season 3, about Erik and Lyle Menendez, receivedcriticism from the brothers themselves.And "Love Story" has haters from multiple corners: In addition to Hannah's rebuke, Jack Schlossberg, Kennedy's nephew,called it"grotesque."

While the relatives of men brutally murdered by one of the most notorious serial killers in history are detailing their pain in statements, Murphy, Netflix and everyone else involved in his shows are profiting. Murphy's deal with the streamer, which has included three seasons of "Monster" so far,was worth an estimated $300 million.Now back making shows for FX, Hulu and parent company Disney ("Love Story" plays on FX and Hulu), his shows court Emmy nominations, audience views and ultimately, major revenue for the corporation.

"From an ethical lens, most people would agree that harming or retraumatizing survivors of any crime is wrong and unacceptable," says Yousefzadeh, the lawyer, while acknowledging that Murphy doesn't have a legal problem here. "A producer should always be mindful of how to respectfully tell a story based on facts, and the ethical implications of involving survivors should certainly be a part of the calculus."

It's worth noting that Murphy is a producer of "Love Story" but not the main creator − that's Connor Hines (Murphy is a co-creator of "Monster" and a producer of "American Crime Story"). He's also far from the only creator in Hollywood to take flack for a loose relationship with the truth. Hulu's 2022 miniseries "Pam and Tommy," about the romance between Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee with a heavy empahasis on the sex tape released without their consent, was created by Robert Siegel and produced by Seth Rogen among others, and has drawn fierce criticism from Anderson. Four years later, at the 2026 Golden Globes, Andersonsaidshe felt "weird" and "yucky" being in the same room as Rogen.

But Murphy has made it is personal brand to capitalize on these huge moments in our cultural history, be they horrific true crime, tabloid fodder or love and tragedy, and twist them into something emotionally manipulative and voyeuristic. Many may complain, but audiences keep tuning in in huge numbers. Is he telling authentic human stories or titillating audiences hungry for more death, drama, destruction and despair?

That hunger may make us all complicit. There are ways to tell these stories without exploitation and harm, like 2022 Peacock series "A Friend of the Family," which is about something as awful as childhood sexual abuse, but was done in conjunction with the survivor, who wanted to tell her own story. Nuanced and graceful, "Friend"stands in direct opposition of "Monster,"which debuted around the same time.

And yet, these fictionalized stories have real-life consequences. Hannah detailed threatening messages she has received in the weeks since "Love Story" debuted on FX. "When entertainment borrows a real person's name, it can permanently impact her reputation," she writes.

How many more reputations can these TV shows ruin? Murphy shows no signs of slowing down his prolific Hollywood efforts: A fourth "Monster,"about Lizzie Borden and starring Ella Beatty, is already in the works, among many future projects. Will we, perhaps eventually eventually, realize maybe we shouldn't be so cavalier with the stories of our fellow humans?

We'll find out a few dozen Murphy TV limited series from now.
