Court documents show the man opened fire in a classroom at Old Dominion University had previously been convicted of aiding a terrorist organization. The shooting Thursday happened less than two years after Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, who the FBI identified as the gunman, left federal prison. He pleaded guilty in 2016 to trying to aid the Islamic State and was on supervised release when the attack occurred. Prosecutors say he talked about attacking the military during an FBI sting that led to his arrest. He also had tried to buy a rifle. A judge gave him 11 years in prison, plus drug and mental health treatment. It wasn’t immediately clear why his release from prison was moved up.

Newly revealed incendiary messages in which a Live Nation employee mocks customers as “so stupid” and says the company is “robbing them blind, baby” are gaining public attention during an ongoing antitrust trial. The messages were highlighted Wednesday in a filing by government lawyers insisting that the messages should be evidence in the week-old Manhattan federal court trial. Live Nation, parent of Ticketmaster, wants them disqualified from the trial, saying they reflect “off-the-cuff banter, not policy” between two personal friends who don't work together. The trial's status is uncertain after the federal government announced this week it is settling though many states are not.

A federal judge is hearing arguments about whether a competency evaluation is needed for the leader of the cultlike Zizians group that has been linked to six deaths. Jack LaSota, a transgender woman who goes by “Ziz,” was charged with illegal gun possession by a fugitive after her arrest last year. Her lawyers asked a judge Thursday to order a psychological evaluation, citing reasonable cause to believe she is incompetent to stand trial. Authorities have called LaSota the apparent leader of a group tied to six deaths in three states.
