The Breakdown 5

• A tragic shooting at Old Dominion University has left the community in mourning as former UGA alum and Army veteran Brandon Shah was identified as the victim, celebrated for his leadership and impactful presence.
• Described as a terrorist attack, the shooting has prompted federal investigations into the circumstances surrounding the weapon used.
• A Virginia man faces charges for illegally selling the firearm linked to the shooting, with revelations that the gun had an obliterated serial number.
