Mohamed Jollah, who killed a teacher at Old Dominion University and injured two students, was banned from owning a gun. The former National Guardsman was a felon who provided material assistance to ISIS. He was banned from owning guns.
He obtained a gun from a man caught three times selling guns illegally. Jollah was released three times by Democrats. He was released after writing a letter of apology.
“The Biden Department of Justice declined to prosecute this man and let him off easy with a warning,” said Attorney General Pamela Bondi. “Left-wing soft-on-crime policies cost lives—but this Department of Justice doesn’t tolerate crime; we punish it.”
Kenya Chapman, 32, of Smithfield, appeared in federal court Friday after being charged with dealing firearms without a license and three counts of making false statements during firearm purchases, according to the Department of Justice.
Kenya Chapman sold a .22 caliber Glock 44 pistol to Jalloh for $100 just this week. He admitted he first stole it from a vehicle a year ago.

The man charged by DOJ for selling the gun used by the ODU terrorist was caught straw purchasing three guns in 2021 (all of which were later recovered at crime scenes, including a homicide) but the Biden DOJ declined to prosecute.
