The University of Virginia’s police chief announced that the suspect in a shooting that killed three members of the school’s football team is in custody, ending an hourslong manhunt that triggered a campus-wide lockdown.
At a press conference in Charlottesville, Va., UVA Police Chief Timothy Longo had just given a description of the suspect, Christopher Darnell Jones, a 22-year-old student and former football player, and the vehicle Jones was believed to have been driving when he was informed that Jones had been taken into custody.
Earlier in the press conference, UVA President Jim Ryan identified the victims: Devin Chandler, D'Sean Perry and Lavel Davis Jr. — all current members of the football team.“We will do everything we can to honor their lives,” Ryan said. “This is an extraordinarily difficult day for our community.” The school initiated an emergency alert triggering a shelter-in-place order for nearly 25,000 people on the sprawling campus.
