A University of Virginia student suspected of fatally shooting 3 members of the school's football team is in custody, police say
Three people have been killed and two others were wounded in a shooting at a parking garage at the University of Virginia, according to the school’s president. The University of Virginia lifted a campuswide lockdown Monday, hours after three students were killed and two injured in a shooting rampage on a charter bus that had returned from a field trip, authorities said.
Christopher Darnell Jones Jr., a student at the elite, 22,000-student school, was taken into custody Monday, authorities said. The search had drawn a university-wide, shelter-in-place order that lasted about 12 hours. “This is a message any leader hopes never to have to send, and I am devastated that this violence has visited the University of Virginia,” Ryan wrote inshared on social media. “This is a traumatic incident for everyone in our community.”
Students checked on each other to make sure friends and loved ones were safe, she said. And she is worried about the mental health of students.
