Federal authorities have arrested a Virginia man accused of unlawfully selling a firearm to the former National Guardsman who authorities said killed an instructor and injured two students in an ROTC class at Old Dominion University<\/a> on Thursday, according to newly unsealed court records.<\/p>\n

Kenya Chapman was charged with false statements and unlawful firearms dealing offenses in a criminal complaint on Friday for his alleged sale of a Glock 44 .22 caliber gun to Mohamed Jalloh, who was previously convicted in 2016 of attempting to provide material support to ISIS — a federal felony that sent him to prison and barred him from being able to legally purchase or possess firearms.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jalloh opened fire Thursday on a class of ROTC members at ODU before being subdued and killed by the students, the FBI said at a news conference Thursday afternoon. Just before he began shooting, students reported that he shouted or stated, “Allah Akbar,” according to FBI Special Agent Dominique Evans of the Norfolk field office.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The FBI is currently investigating the shooting as an act of terrorism, Evans said.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The newly unsealed criminal complaint reveals new information about Jalloh, his interactions with his court-assigned probation officer and other details from his background leading up to Thursday’s shooting.<\/p>\n

According to the complaint, Jalloh was taking online classes at Old Dominion University this semester and his probation officer had been told by Jalloh that he was living at a residence in Sterling, Virginia, with his sister.<\/p>\n

The probation officer’s last reported visit with Jalloh was Nov. 17 of last year, the complaint says.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Investigators have obtained CCTV footage showing Jalloh park his car on campus yesterday at approximately 9:40\u00a0 a.m. before the shooting.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jalloh, a former member of the Army National Guard, was sentenced to 11 years in prison in 2017 and released in December of 2024, according to Bureau of Prisons records.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When he pleaded guilty in 2016, Jalloh admitted he had communicated with a member of ISIS who was located overseas, who introduced him to an individual in the U.S. who was actually an FBI confidential informant.<\/p>\n

The ISIS member was believed to be actively plotting an attack and believed Jalloh would assist the informant in carrying it out, according to his guilty plea.<\/p>\n

During one meeting with the FBI informant, Jalloh was asked about a timeline for an operation and commented that it was better to plan an attack for the month of Ramadan, court records say.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Prosecutors had recommended Jalloh serve 20 years in prison. It’s not immediately clear why he was released before the end of his 11-year sentence, though it is not unusual in the federal prison system for inmates to be released before serving their full term.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
