Former UVA football walk-on player Chris Darnell Jones Jr. is currently in custody of the police and is the believed perpetrator of a shooting that has claimed 3 lives (all UVA football) players: D'Sean Perry, Lavel Davis Jr., and Devin Chandler. Two other football players are currently in critical condition at the hospital.

UVA shooting: 3 football players killed, 2 students wounded and suspect in custody

I'm posting a thread for this specifically outside of the political forums so it can be seen on the front page. Keep political posts in those designated forums, please.

I hate this. My heart breaks for the five players, their families, and the Virginia football team.

I’ve seen what the news labels as “critical condition”. I can’t help but expect the worst.

I just read about this as well. It’s incredibly heartbreaking and will probably be proven to be beyond senseless in the end. Prayers for all of these devastated families and the UVA fam. 🙏🏼

Good lord, this is heartbreaking.

I mean, how can you justify taking that kind of action on guys you've bonded with for years. The fact that it happened is horrendous enough as is, but this dude gunning down his own teammates...

Really strange and sad. Hope the authorities will get to the bottom of it.

He told his dad he was being picked on. I'll try to find the story, but it was on MSN.com this AM.

Looks like the UVA team has voted to end their season now, can’t blame them for that decision. Hope they get to the bottom of what happened and punish the assailant accordingly.

This is truly tragic. I hope they get to the bottom of this and figure out ways to prevent people from feeling so hopeless that these types of acts wouldn’t even be considered.
