Virginias delegat kräver medaljer som hedrar ODU ROTC-kadetter och dräpt instruktör efter skjutning

Virginias delegat Wren Williams uppmanade president Trump att tilldela Presidential Medal of Freedom till Old Dominion University ROTC-kadetter som neutraliserade skytten Mohamed Bailor Jalloh den 12 mars, och att postumt hedra den dräpte instruktören Lt. Col. Brandon Shah, i en krönika i Daily Wire.

I en krönika publicerad i Daily Wire hyllade Virginias delegat Wren Williams (R-47th District) ROTC-kadetternas hjältemod under attacken den 12 mars mot deras klassrum i Norfolk, som beskrivits i tidigare rapportering. Kadetterna, tränade av Shah – en stridsflygare, ODU-alumn, mottagare av Bronze Star och innehavare av Air Medal with Valor – stormade Jallor, en radikaliserad före detta medlem i Army National Guard med dom för stöd till ISIS, och stoppade honom inom tio minuter trots campus vapenfria zon. FBI Special Agent in Charge Dominique Evans tillskrev dem att de avslutade hotet och noterade: ”Om det inte varit för dem är jag inte säker på vad annat han kunde ha gjort. ” Williams framhöll deras förkroppsliggörande av FBI:s ”Run. Hide. Fight.”-protokoll genom att välja att slåss utan order, och tillskrev Shahs träning. Han uppmanade president Trump att erkänna kadetterna med Presidential Medal of Freedom och att postumt hedra Shah för att ha förberett framtida officerare mot terrorhot. Krönikan framställer deras handlingar som bevis på effektiv militär beredskap.

Former President Donald Trump hailed the US military's rescue of both crew members from an F-15E fighter jet downed by Iranian air defenses near Isfahan as 'one of the most daring' operations in history.
