弗吉尼亚州一名男子面临联邦指控,被指控向周四在诺福克市旧 Dominion大学(Old Dominion University)发生的致命枪击案枪手出售了一把被盗枪支,据官员和法庭文件称。
32岁的史密斯菲尔德居民肯尼亚·麦克海尔·查普曼(Kenya Mcchell Chapman)被指控三项购买枪支时作虚假陈述罪,以及一项无合法许可证出售枪支罪。
当局称,这三项虚假陈述指控涉及查普曼在2021年涉嫌进行的无关枪支购买。司法部表示,他于周五首次出庭受审。
“查普曼据称盗窃了一把枪支并非法卖给一名有前科的恐怖分子,该恐怖分子杀害了一名战功卓著的美国退伍军人,他最终将面临法律的全部制裁,”司法部副部长托德·布兰奇(Todd Blanche)周五在一份声明中说。
36岁的前弗吉尼亚国民警卫队成员穆罕默德·拜勒·贾洛(Mohamed Bailor Jalloh)周四在旧 Dominion大学的一间教室里开枪,造成1人死亡,2人受伤,当局称。一名执法部门消息人士告诉CBS新闻,贾洛走进该校商学院的一间教室,询问是否是ROTC(后备军官训练团)课程,在得到肯定答复后开枪。该课程的ROTC教官被杀害。
联邦调查局诺福克办事处特别探员多米尼克·埃文斯(Dominique Evans)告诉记者,贾洛在枪击事件后被教室里的学生”制服”,随后死亡。CBS新闻了解到,一名学生用刀杀死了枪手。
一份联邦执法人员宣誓书称,现场发现了一把序列号部分篡改的格洛克44型.22口径枪支。当局周四表示,这是在嫌疑人身上发现的唯一枪支。
据宣誓书称,在其史密斯菲尔德住宅被突袭后,查普曼周四接受联邦调查人员讯问时承认,本周早些时候,他以100美元的价格将一把格洛克44型.22口径枪支卖给了贾洛,但否认知道其序列号已被篡改。
查普曼向探员展示了购买时使用的100美元钞票,宣誓书称。
贾洛的一部手机在其尸体旁的教室里被发现,调查人员在对其枪击前一周的近期联系记录进行审查后,将线索指向了查普曼。在搜查其住所时,发现了与枪击现场回收枪支一致的.22口径弹药。
宣誓书称,这两人在工作中相识,在3月5日至枪击发生当天之间通话六次,最近一次通话发生在枪击事件发生前”几分钟”。
宣誓书称,查普曼在2021年曾因涉嫌三次非法代购枪支被调查,当时他承认非法获取这些枪支。其中两支枪在一起凶杀案现场被发现,第三支枪在一次醉酒闹事事件中被查获,宣誓书称。他收到了一封警告信,并被要求写一封道歉信。
埃文斯说,贾洛于2016年10月因试图向极端组织”伊斯兰国”(ISIS)提供物质支持而认罪,并于2017年至2024年在联邦监狱服刑。由于是重刑犯,贾洛依法不得购买或持有枪支。
宣誓书称,在接受讯问时,查普曼还承认知道贾洛有过牢狱经历,但否认知道他是重刑犯。宣誓书指控查普曼”完全不知道”贾洛会发动袭击,称贾洛告诉他需要这把枪作为送货司机的防护工具。
如果罪名成立,查普曼最高可被判处35年监禁。
目前尚不清楚查普曼是否有律师代表。
Man charged with selling stolen firearm used in Old Dominion shooting, officials say

A Virginia man is facing federal charges, accused of selling a stolen firearm to the gunman who used it in Thursday’s deadly shooting at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, according to officials and court documents.
Kenya Mcchell Chapman, 32, of Smithfield, is charged with three counts of making false statements while purchasing a firearm, and one count of selling a firearm without a proper license.
The three counts of false statements are for unrelated gun purchases Chapman allegedly made in 2021, authorities said. He made his first court appearance on Friday, the Justice Department said.
“Chapman allegedly stole a firearm and illegally sold it to a convicted terrorist, who murdered a decorated American veteran, and he will finally face the full weight of justice,” Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said in a statement Friday.
Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, a 36-year-old former Virginia National Guardsman, killed one person and injured two others Thursday in an Old Dominion classroom, authorities said. A law enforcement source told CBS News that Jalloh walked into a classroom in the school’s business college, asked if it was an ROTC class, and when told yes, opened fire. The ROTC instructor of the class was killed.
Jalloh died after being “subdued” by students in the classroom following the shooting, Dominique Evans, special agent in charge of the FBI’s Norfolk Office, told reporters. CBS News has learned that one of the students killed the gunman with a knife.
A Glock 44 .22-caliber firearm with a partially altered serial number was recovered from the scene, according to a federal law enforcement affidavit. Authorities said Thursday that it was the only gun found on the suspect.
In an interview with federal investigators Thursday after his Smithfield home was raided, Chapman allegedly admitted that earlier this week, he had sold Jalloh a Glock 44 .22-caliber firearm for $100, but denied knowing whether its serial number had been altered, according to the affidavit.
Chapman told investigators that he had stolen the gun about a year prior to the shooting from a vehicle in Newport News, Virginia. Chapman showed agents the $100 bill used in the purchase, the affidavit states.
A phone belonging to Jalloh was found next to his body in the classroom, and a review of his recent contacts in the week leading up to the shooting led investigators to Chapman, according to the affidavit. When his home was searched, .22-caliber ammunition was found consistent with the gun recovered from the shooting scene.
The affidavit alleges that the pair, who met at work, spoke six times between March 5 and the day of the shooting, with the most recent call being “minutes before” it took place.
Chapman had been investigated in 2021 for straw purchases of three guns, and at the time admitted to obtaining them illegally, the affidavit states. Two of the guns were recovered from the scene of a homicide, and a third was recovered from a drunk in public incident, according to the affidavit. He received a warning letter and was asked to write a letter of apology.
Jalloh pleaded guilty in October 2016 to attempting to provide material support to the terror group ISIS and served federal prison time from 2017 to 2024, Evans said. Because he was a felon, Jalloh could not legally purchase or own a firearm.
While being interviewed, Chapman also allegedly admitted to knowing Jalloh had spent time in prison, but denied knowing he was a felon, the affidavit states. The affidavit alleges that Chapman “had no idea” that Jalloh would commit an attack, alleging that Jalloh told him he needed the gun for protection as a delivery driver.
If convicted as charged, Chapman could face a maximum sentence of 35 years in prison.
It wasn’t immediately clear if Chapman has an attorney representing him.
