Federal Charges Filed: Man Sells Stolen Gun to ODU Shooter; ROTC Leader Killed, Two Wounded
In a shocking turn of events, a man faces federal charges for selling a stolen gun to the shooter behind a deadly attack at Old Dominion University. The gun buyer, a former Army National Guard member, killed one person and wounded two others in an ROTC classroom before students stopped him. The shooter, who had spent over ten years in prison for supporting the Islamic State group, yelled Allahu Akbar as he fired. The victim, Lieutenant Colonel Brandon Shah, was an ROTC leader and decorated helicopter pilot who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. He leaves behind a spouse and child. Two wounded servicemembers have improved, with one now in fair condition. Investigators linked the weapon to the seller through phone calls with the shooter from the week before. The man has a past warning for illegal straw purchases. Officials praised the ROTC students for their quick action that saved lives. Theyre still seeking public tips on the incident, with no ties found to overseas conflicts.
