The father of a University of Virginia student accused of gunning down three players on the school’s football team is still working to process the horrific act — but he suspects bullying may have played a role in the violence.
Christopher Darnell Jones Jr. evaded authorities for more than 12 hours after he opened fire on a bus of students returning to campus Sunday night. He was taken into custody in Henrico County Monday morning on three counts of second-degree murder and three counts of using a handgun in the commission of a felony, police said.
School officials again canceled classes on Tuesday to allow students time to grieve those killed in the gunfire. They were identified as Devin Chandler, Lavel Davis and D’Sean Perry.
