On Friday, the Justice Department charged Kenya Chapman for allegedly selling 36-year-old Mohamed Bailor Jalloh a gun, even though Jalloh had a felony that barred him from gun ownership.
Breitbart News noted that Jalloh was arrested on July 3, 2016, “for attempting to provide material support to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.” In 2017, he was convicted and sentenced to 11 years in prison.
Jalloh entered a classroom Thursday and asked if the students in it were members of ROTC. When they answered in the affirmative he began shooting and said “Allah Akbar” and he commenced the attack.
The Associated Press noted that the Justice Department alleges that Jalloh got his gun from Chapman, who is now “charged with making a false statement during a firearm purchase and engaging in the business of firearms dealing without a license.”
Chapman allegedly told agents he stole the gun about a year ago and “recently sold it to Jalloh.”
