A man has been charged with selling a stolen gun to Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, a former member of the Army National Guard who used it to kill one person and wound two others at Old Dominion University. The charges come a day after the attack by Jalloh, who had previously spent eight years in prison for attempting to aid the Islamic State group. Authorities say Jalloh yelled “Allahu akbar” before opening fire Thursday in a classroom at the Virginia school and being killed by ROTC students. ROTC students receive a scholarship to attend college while training to become commissioned officers in the U.S. military.

Rural school districts say the Trump administration’s visa changes are jeopardizing a key source of teachers. Many schools hired foreign teachers when they couldn't attract American instructors to remote locations. But visas have become harder to come by under the Trump administration's immigration crackdown. Schools are looking for other ways to fill the gaps. When schools can't hire local replacements for international educators, some are planning to rely more on online instruction. Instructors join a class live and teach via video chat. Elsewhere, school leaders say they may hire uncertified teachers, combine classes or drop course offerings.

Dozens of Democratic senators are demanding answers from the Trump administration as a growing body of evidence suggests that the U.S. was likely responsible for a strike at an elementary school in Iran that killed over 165 people, many of them children. The letter from more than 45 senators pressed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on whether the U.S. was in fact culpable and, if so, what the intended targets were for the strike and what analysis had been done beforehand on the purpose of the building. The senators also raised concerns about the hollowing out of a congressionally mandated office set up specifically to reduce civilian casualties.

Young students are still struggling to bounce back academically from the pandemic, even though many were babies at the time. In new data from research and testing company NWEA, first and second graders are scoring below kids pre-pandemic in math and reading. Math scores have risen a little each year. Reading scores have stayed flat. Researchers say the problem looks bigger than impacts from the pandemic. They point to emerging data that suggest parents are reading less to kids. Some districts say stronger phonics lessons and frequent check-ins help reading recover. And some states are expanding pre-K to boost early literacy.

Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark says a new federal bill is the best way to fix college sports money problems. He spoke before the start of the Big 12 Tournament on Tuesday, just days after a White House meeting with President Donald Trump and NCAA leaders, which he characterized as “very constructive.” Yormark says everyone agrees that NIL payments and the transfer portal pose a major threat to college sports, but nobody appears to agree on the solution. Yormark backs the SCORE Act, which limits some lawsuits against the NCAA and overrides state NIL laws. Some argue that it gives the NCAA and its most powerful schools too much authority.

Authorities say a Georgia high school teacher is dead after teenagers pulled a late night prank outside his home. The Hall County Sheriff's Office says teenagers went to 40-year-old Jason Hughes' home late Friday to roll his yard with toilet paper. It says Hughes came outside as the teens were leaving and he tripped and fell into the street, where one of the teens struck him with a pickup truck. Authorities say the 18-year-old driver of the pickup has been charged with a felony county of vehicular homicide. Four other teens were charged with trespassing and littering. Hughes' family said in a statement that he knew and loved the teens and that they want all charges dropped.
