ODU attack gun sale leads to federal charges against dealer
A man, Kenya Micchell Chapman, was arrested on federal charges for selling the Glock pistol used by Mohamed Bailor Jalloh in the Old Dominion University ROTC shooting. Chapman is charged with making false statements to purchase a firearm and dealing firearms without a license; prosecutors say he had ATF scrutiny for straw purchasing, admitted stealing the gun about a year ago, and sold it to Jalloh for $100 in the week before the attack. Jalloh, a convicted ISIS supporter on probation, opened fire in the ROTC classroom, killing instructor Brandon Shah and wounding others before being killed by police; investigators found Chapman’s number on Jalloh’s phone, linking him to the sale.
