Ryan said Jones, 22, is a student at the 22,000-student school.
“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.
“You definitely feel like you’re in a bubble while you’re on campus as a student here compared to Charlottesville as a whole," Given said."And that bubble has been popped now that something happened here.”
