Man Accused Of Selling Gun Used In Old Dominion Terror Attack Charged
Authorities are seeking to find out how the gunman in the deadly shooting at Old Dominion University last week obtained the gun that was used in the attack. Police now say the firearm was illegally sold by a man who has now been arrested, according to reports.
Police said Mohamed Jalloh opened fire during an ROTC class on campus, killing Lt. Col. Brandon Shah. Two others were injured in the March 12 shooting, 13NewsNow reported.
Authorities said Jalloh had previously served time for attempting to provide material support to ISIS. Officials said he was on supervised release at the time of the attack and was killed during the incident.
Court documents say Jalloh illegally purchased the weapon from Kenya Chapman. Investigators say Chapman sold him a .22 caliber Glock 44 with an altered serial number.
According to an affidavit from an ATF agent in Newport News, Chapman sold the gun for $100. Authorities said Chapman still had the same $100 bill when he was arrested, which the FBI seized as evidence.
Chapman was arrested Friday after the FBI searched an apartment in Smithfield where he had been staying. Agents spent about six hours searching the residence before taking him into custody.
Officials said Jalloh shouted “Allahu Akbar” before opening fire. The phrase translates to “God is great.”
Virginia Rep. Jen Kiggans said laws preventing felons from obtaining firearms only work when people obey them. She said the suspect who sold the gun was not a law-abiding citizen.
“That person who sold that terrorist affiliated person a gun, he stole that gun out of cars,” Kiggans said. She said illegal gun trafficking continues to pose a serious threat.
Court records show Chapman had previously been investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in 2021. Agents suspected him of participating in straw purchasing, which occurs when someone buys a firearm for someone who cannot legally own one.
Investigators said Chapman received a warning at the time but was not charged. The ATF said it found no known firearm purchases by Chapman in the last year.
According to investigators, Chapman initially told authorities he found the Glock in the woods. Officials said he later admitted he stole the weapon from a car in Newport News about a year earlier.
Chapman told investigators he met Jalloh at work and that Jalloh said he wanted the gun for protection as a delivery driver. Wrenn told reporters she does not believe Jalloh had a job.
Investigators said cellphone data placed Jalloh near the Smithfield apartment multiple times before the attack. Authorities said the phone left the area the morning of March 12 and traveled toward Old Dominion University.
Officials also found a bag of .22 caliber ammunition inside the apartment. Investigators said the ammunition matched the caliber of the gun used in the attack.
Chapman now faces federal charges of dealing firearms without a license and making false statements during firearm purchases. Officials said he appeared in federal court Friday.
U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi criticized the earlier decision not to prosecute Chapman. She said the previous warning allowed a dangerous situation to develop.
“The Biden Department of Justice declined to prosecute this man and let him off easy with a warning,” Bondi said. “Left-wing soft-on-crime policies cost lives but this Department of Justice doesn’t tolerate crime, we punish it,” Bondi said.
FBI Director Kash Patel also addressed the arrest. He said investigators remain committed to holding everyone involved accountable.
“If you steal firearms, lie on federal forms, and put weapons in the hands of convicted terrorists, this FBI will find you,” Patel said. “I want to thank our Norfolk Field Office and partners who continue to work to bring to justice those responsible for yesterday’s attack,” Patel said.
Officials said Chapman faces a maximum penalty of 35 years in prison if convicted. The investigation into the shooting remains ongoing.
BANNED' - Clinton Judge Reads Her Verdict - President Donald Trump Has Been Informed That He Just Beat Gavin Newsom...
JUDICIAL RECKONING
The return of national sovereignty and administrative lethality reached a new milestone this Thursday, April 9, 2026. A blockbuster ruling in Los Angeles has left the DNC establishment and globalist elite reeling.
A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction against California’s controversial "No Secret Police Act," blocking the state from prohibiting ICE agents from wearing masks. Judge Christina Snyder ruled the law unconstitutional, marking a decisive victory for President Donald J. Trump and the Department of Justice.
The court affirmed the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause, stating California cannot discriminate against federal officers while exempting its own law enforcement. Attorney General Pamela Bondi praised the ruling, emphasizing the administration’s zero-tolerance stance on harassment of federal agents.
This decision reflects the 2026 mandate: a legal framework prioritizing the safety of American officers over the sanctuary policies pushed by Governor Gavin Newsom. It signals a sweeping rollback of state overreach in immigration enforcement.
Meanwhile, in Texas, a federal jury delivered historic terrorism convictions against nine members of a radical antifa cell. The group was found guilty for a violent 2025 attack on an ICE detention facility that left a police officer shot in the neck.
Ringleader Benjamin Song faces potential life imprisonment after evidence proved the attack was a coordinated assault using explosives and rifles—not the “noise demonstration” the defense claimed. Prosecutors called the verdict a landmark affirmation of Trump’s domestic terror designation.
With Kash Patel at the FBI and Todd Blanche at the DOJ, the dismantling of extremist cells has accelerated. Federal agencies continue to secure detention centers like Prairieland against those attempting to destabilize the republic.
Governor Gavin Newsom attempted to spin the court ruling as a “win,” citing the upheld “No Vigilantes Act.” But the truth remains: the centerpiece of his anti-ICE agenda—the “No Secret Police Act”—has been effectively struck down.
The defeat exposes the weakening foundation of California’s sanctuary policies. While Sacramento prioritizes the “civil rights” of illegal aliens, the Trump administration is defending the constitutional rights of federal officers.
The week closes as a sweeping administrative triumph for the Trump-GOP platform. From Los Angeles courtrooms to Texas jury boxes, real results—not rhetoric—are forging the 2026 midterm shield.
With 5% GDP growth and a secure border, the nation is reclaiming its stability and sovereignty. America moves forward with vigilance, resolve, and a renewed commitment to law and order.
God bless the USA—and the leaders who refuse to bow to the swamp or the radical mob.
oFar Left 'Squad' Member Learns Her Fate As Her Primary Election is Called
Washington D.C. — The far-left “Squad” took another massive hit Tuesday night as Missouri Democrat Rep. Cori Bush was soundly defeated in her primary by challenger Wesley Bell, who led by double digits with 54.9% to Bush’s 41.8%.
Bush, one of the most extreme voices in Congress, joins Rep. Jamaal Bowman as the second Squad member to lose her seat this cycle. Her defeat is a clear rejection of the radical socialist, anti-police, pro-Hamas agenda she has pushed since entering Congress in 2021.
Bush rose to prominence after participating in the Ferguson riots and has spent years promoting false narratives about Michael Brown while calling for defunding the police — even as violent crime soared in her St. Louis district. She has repeatedly aligned herself with pro-Hamas protesters, blamed Israel for the October 7 massacre, and faced controversy over allegedly funneling thousands of campaign dollars to her husband for “security services” while demanding less police protection for her constituents.
Republicans celebrated the win with well-deserved mockery. Pro-Trump comedian Terrance K. Williams posted:
“A ‘BLACK JOB’ IS SOMETHING CORI BUSH DOES NOT HAVE. OH HAPPY DAY! She is the second Squad member to lose her seat! I can’t wait until they are all gone.”
Florida GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz, who served with Bush on the House Judiciary Committee, sarcastically noted:
“I will miss Cori Bush missing every committee meeting.”
Students for Trump co-founder Ryan Fournier added:
“The Squad’s Cori Bush has LOST her primary. Join me in saying GOOD RIDDANCE! Hamas might be hiring, Cori!”
Even actor Michael Rapaport, a vocal Israel supporter, celebrated:
“Tonight at the rally they said let’s bring back ‘JOY’ to politics and boom CORI BUSH is done with Politics…. I feel JOY all of a sudden.”
This is the second straight blow to the radical Squad. Jamaal Bowman lost his primary earlier after endorsing pro-Hamas demonstrators on college campuses. Both Bush and Bowman blamed their defeats on pro-Israel funding from AIPAC rather than admitting the truth: their extreme, anti-American, and anti-Israel positions have become toxic to voters.
The radical left’s Squad is crumbling because the American people are rejecting their agenda of defunding police, embracing socialism, supporting radical Islamists, and putting foreign interests above American citizens. Voters want secure borders, safe streets, strong economy, and leaders who put America First — not performative radicals who miss committee meetings and push policies that hurt their own districts.
Under President Donald J. Trump’s leadership, the Republican Party is becoming the party of working Americans, law and order, and common sense. Meanwhile, the Democrat Party continues its death spiral — hemorrhaging voters, losing favorability, and watching its most extreme members get rejected at the ballot box.
Cori Bush’s defeat is not just a loss for one radical congresswoman. It is a rejection of the entire Squad’s toxic ideology. The American people are waking up and choosing sanity over socialism, strength over weakness, and America First over America Last.
More Squad members are on the ballot soon. The trend is clear: radicalism is losing, and the America First movement is winning.
