The man accused of selling a gun to the Old Dominion University shooter was arrested on March 13.
Kenya Chapman was charged on Friday with making a false statement during a firearm purchase and engaging in the business of firearms dealing without a license, according to the Department of Justice.
Chapman was accused of selling the gun to the shooter, Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, who used it to open fire inside a classroom at the Virginia school on Thursday, killing one and injuring two others.
The salesman told police he didn’t think Jalloh was going to commit an attack.
Before Thursday’s shooting, Jalloh was sentenced to 11 years in prison for trying to aid ISIS, but was released in December 2024.
The Associated Press contributed to his report.
