During a press conference Monday, Police announced that suspect Chistopher Darnell Jones Jr. had been arrested and was in police custody.

Longo added: “[Jones] is charged him with three counts of second-degree murder, and we charged him with three counts of using a handgun in the commission of a felony.”

A shelter-in-place order remained in effect until 10:30 a.m. Monday morning. Police increased their presence on campus for a full search of university grounds. All classes have been canceled. “Mr. Jones came to the attention of the University of Virginia’s threat assessment team In the fall of 2022. Back in September 2022, our Office of Student Affairs reported to the multidisciplinary threat assessment team that Mr. Jones, they received information, that Mr. Jones had made a comment about possessing a gun to a person that was unaffiliated with the university. That reporting person, again unaffiliated with the university, to the best of our knowledge, never saw the gun.

He added: “Mr. Jones also had come to the potential threat assessment team because he was involved in a hazing investigation of some sort. I don’t know the facts and circumstances of that investigation. I know that it was eventually closed due to witnesses that would not cooperate with the process.”, an alert was issued on Sunday night by the university’s emergency management warning of an “active attacker firearm” on Culbreth Road, located on the northern edge of UVA.

Such a sad situation. I guess the shooter had no one else to reach out to before doing this? I’m praying for everyone involved

Someone please explain 2nd degree murder to me. You kill cold blooded. I’m absolutely over this crap.

Different school, same bs. Nothing changes.

Suspect captured!
