Old Dominion University students fought back against a gunman who broke into an ROTC classroom and opened fire, with one of the pupils stabbing the attacker, law enforcement officials said on Friday.
After the assailant, identified as Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, started shooting, multiple students attacked the suspect with one of them stabbing him, two senior law enforcement officials briefed on the investigation told NBC News.

The FBI said it's investigating Thursday's shooting in Norfolk as an act of terrorism.
Army Lt. Col. Brandon A. Shah was killed in the attack, and two other Army personnel were wounded, officials said.
The attacker was subdued by students who “rendered him no longer alive,” according to Dominique Evans, special agent in charge of the agency’s Norfolk field office.
