CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — A suspect is in custody after three football players were killed and two other students were injured in a mass shooting at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville on Sunday night, authorities said.
The shooting took place on a bus full of students returning home from a class field trip to see a play in Washington, D.C., university officials said.
Jones was a running back for the university's football team in 2018, though he never played in a game.One injured student is in critical condition and the other is in good condition, Ryan said Monday. "I looked over to my friend and like, 'Did you hear that?' I was like, 'I think that was like gunfire,'" Gunter recalled in a telephone interview with ABC News early Monday, while sheltering in place.Gunter invited her friend Nicholas Lansing to shelter in her third-floor dorm room, since his is on the ground floor.
Longo said Jones is facing charges of three counts of second-degree murder and three counts of using a handgun in the commission of a felony. Charges could change, he said. The university's threat assessment team also learned of a prior criminal incident involving"a concealed weapon violation" from February 2021 in another city, Longo said. Jones is required as a student"to report that -- and he never did -- so the university has taken appropriate administrative charges," Longo said. That matter is pending, Longo said.
