NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) — The March 12 terror attack inside Constant Hall at Old Dominion University has forever changed how Jah-ire Utarte views Memorial Day. “Memorial Day never really had a direct connection to me,” Utarte said. “It does now.” Utarte was in the front row of an ROTC classroom when an armed terrorist opened fire. The class instructor, Lieutenant Colonel Brandon Shah, immediately charged the gunman and, despite being shot, wrestled him to the ground.
