3 University of Virginia football players shot dead as former team member taken into custody

Three University of Virginia football players were identified Monday as the victims killed in a late-night shooting Sunday, with officials arresting a former member of the team who is suspected of carrying out the attack.

Devin Chandler, Lavel Davis and D’Sean Perry died after a gunman opened fire on a bus filled with students returning from a field trip at around 10:30 p.m., the school’s president, Jim Ryan, said during a news conference.

The suspect, a current student identified as Christopher Jones, was taken into custody late Monday morning in connection with the rampage that also left two people wounded.
