New England Patriots' classy gesture to Virginia University students after shooting

The New England Patriots have paid tribute to all those affected by the tragic shooting that took place at the University of Virginia, by allowing students and college players to use their team plane.

Three college football players from the University of Virginia were killed following a shooting on November 13, with two others hospitalised. Receivers Devin Chandler and Lavel Davis and linebacker D’Sean Perry were killed in the incident, with the alleged shooter Christopher Darnell Jones Jr, a former UVA college football player.

The Patriots lost to the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday night, and won't be in action until December 2 when they face the Buffalo Bills on home soil. And with their plane not in use this week, they've allowed it to be used as a method of transport for those attending funerals for the trio from UVA.
