University of Virginia: Mourning for campus shooting victims
Mourners look over flowers that line a bridge near the scene of a shooting on the grounds of the University of Virginia Tuesday Nov. 15, 2022, in Charlottesville. Va. Authorities say three people have been killed and two others were wounded in a shooting at the University of Virginia and a student suspect is in custody. CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.
Ryan Lynch, a 19-year-old sophomore student on the trip, told Philadelphia TV station KYW the suspect pulled out a gun as they arrived back and pushed one of the now-deceased football players, stating: “You guys are always messing with me.” Jones faces an initial court appearance Wednesday. The prosecutor, Albemarle Commonwealth's Attorney James Hingeley, said in an email Tuesday that besides previously announced second-degree murder and firearms charges, Jones faces two counts of malicious wounding and additional gun-related charges. Hingeley also identified the fourth and fifth surviving victims.
Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin ordered flags lowered statewide and made a campus visit, leaving flowers near a memorial at the football stadium. He said he came to pay"deep respects and hopefully take a moment to support these families.” Williams said she and the coach will consult with players and make a decision soon about Saturday’s home football game against Coastal Carolina.Jones was a member of the football team during the 2018 season. Williams said he was a one-semester walk-on and she didn't believe his membership overlapped with any of the victims. She said she didn't know if they had any interaction outside of the class that took the field trip.
Jones drew the attention of the university’s threat-assessment team this fall in the context of a “potential hazing issue,” the university said in a statement provided to AP.
