The UVA student accused of shooting and killing three football players and injuring two others was denied bond during a court hearing in Charlottesville, Virginia.
On Monday, Jones was arrested after a manhunt stretching 12 hours after he was suspected of shooting and killing three students on Sunday night.
“The bodies … were found inside a charter bus where they had been for the day enjoying the school activities, having a meal together, and coming back to our grounds,” Charlottesville Police Chief Timothy Longo said during a press conference Monday. “Someone amongst them chose to do an act of violence, and we found them dead inside that bus.”
Following the incident and before Jones was apprehended, the school went on lockdown and suspended all classes at the University. Classes resumed on Wednesday. “Around 10:30 p.m. last night, there was a shooting on Grounds. One of our students, Christopher Darnell Jones Jr., is suspected to have committed the shooting. The suspect remains at large and is considered armed and dangerous. Multiple law enforcement agencies are coordinating to find and apprehend him,” Ryan shared in a late Sunday night.
