UVA shooting: University Closed For The Second day. Students Mourn Over Deceased.


Classes were cancelled for a second straight day Tuesday at the University of Virginia as the campus community mourned the death of three students gunned down after returning from a class field trip.


D’Sean Perry, Lavel Davis Jr. and Devin Chandler were members of UVA's football team. Running back Mike Hollins was one of two people wounded in the rampage, his mother said.


The suspect, Christopher Darnell Jones Jr., was on the team as a freshman in 2018 but did not play in any games. Jones, 22, was arrested Monday morning in Henrico County, Virginia, near Richmond, following an intensive, 12-hour search.

Jones faces arraignment on three counts of second-degree murder and related charges. No motive for the attack has been determined, authorities said.


"Although we do not yet have a full understanding of the motive and circumstances surrounding these events, police are investigating as we speak," UVA President James Ryan said Monday.


Virginia junior running back Mike Hollins is the fourth known victim in the shooting and was undergoing surgery Tuesday morning, according to his mother, Brenda.


She wrote on Twitter that her son was scheduled to undergo a second surgery at 8 a.m. ET on Tuesday. She asked followers to continue praying for him and "for all of the families that are going through this horrific tragedy."
