A former University of Virginia student has pleaded guilty to fatally shooting three football players and wounding two other students in an attack on the campus in 2022.
A home in Palm Coast was raided by the Flagler County SWAT team, which led to the discovery of suspected explosive devices, drugs and guns.
Authorities had not released a motive. Jones was a former member of the university's football team at the time of the shooting. A witness told police that he had targeted specific victims. Kimberly Wald said at the time that the school would pay $2 million each to the families of the three students who died, the maximum allowable under Virginia law. The school would also pay $3 million total to the two students who were wounded.
Wald had said the university should have removed Jones from campus before the attack because he displayed multiple red flags through erratic and unstable behavior.
