Prosecutor James Hingeley from the Albemarle County Commonwealth's Attorney’s Office described facts in the case, noting all five individuals were shot. He said Jones shot victim Devin Chandler while he was sleeping, according to a witness, and he slid onto the floor. The witness reported that Jones was aiming at “certain people” and “not randomly shooting,” Hingeley said. At the time of his arrest in Chesterfield County, Jones had outstanding warrants for hit-and-run and reckless driving out of Petersburg, Virginia, Hingeley said. The University of Virginia canceled its final home football game of the season Wednesday in the wake of the shooting.

The school had been "reviewing a potential hazing issue" when the Office of Student Affairs "heard from a student that Mr. Jones made a comment to him about possessing a gun," the university said in a statement Tuesday. "The reporting party did not see Mr. Jones in possession of a gun," the statement said. As the probe moved forward, it was learned that "Mr. Jones previously had been convicted of a misdemeanor for a concealed weapons violation in 2021," the school said. But officials said they realized only after Sunday’s shooting that the report of his conviction was never relayed to the University Judiciary Committee. Jones had a difficult upbringing at home and was bullied at school, Logan said.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — The University of Virginia community came together in grief Monday night as students, staff members, educators and others struggled to understand the shooting that left three football players dead and the campus heartbroken. Matthew Krinn, 19, a sophomore from Chevy Chase, Maryland, said that although he has grown up aware of campus shootings, he never thought he would be directly affected. At Monday night's vigil, students placed bouquets and candles on the steps of Old Cabell Hall, where some football players openly shed tears for their fallen teammates. He said he’s also rethinking the way he talks about school shootings, noting that he used to joke with his Taiwanese friends, saying he may need a bulletproof vest. is a strong community.

Family and friends of three college football players, gunned down at the University of Virginia, called their slayings "heartbreaking and tragic." This is my firstborn child,” he said, adding that his son who could “light up a room just with a smile” was focused on school, football and his family. Their family, from Charleston, South Carolina, was heading to the UVA campus Monday. “It is heartbreaking and tragic that Devin’s young life was cut short by violence," Wisconsin Athletic Director Chris McIntosh said in a statement. Chandler still had plenty of friends in Madison and Sunday's fatal shooting will be felt throughout the program, Wisconsin officials said.

The university’s “threat assessment team” had learned about Jones in September after a third party, who was not a student, reported that he spoke about having a gun, UVA Police Chief Timothy Longo told reporters. He said the school’s student affairs office interviewed Jones’ roommate, who had not seen the suspect with a gun. Steve Helber / APIt wasn’t clear if the school’s internal investigation of Jones possibly having a gun ended with that roommate’s interview. Jones had also been involved in a campus hazing probe, but it did not appear to lead to any disciplinary action, Longo said. A UVA men's basketball home game set for Monday night against the University of Northern Iowa was postponed.
