The mother of college football star Mike Hollins has detailed the moment she had to tell the young running back that three of his team-mates had died in a tragic shooting incident.
Three college football players from the University of Virginia were killed following a shooting on Sunday, with two others hospitalised - one of whom was Hollins. Receivers Devin Chandler and Lavel Davis and linebacker D’Sean Perry were killed in the incident, close team-mates of Hollins.
The alleged shooter that has been taken into custody is Christopher Darnell Jones Jr, a former member of the UVA college football player. Hollins was rushed to hospital in a serious condition but thankfully is now stable after being wounded in the incident, but his mother had to break the awful news that his team-mates weren't as lucky.
