When asked if UVA shooting survivor Mike Hollins knows of the death of his three teammates, Brenda Hollins shook her head and said 'no,' adding that she can't bring herself to tell him at this time.

Hollins is the fourth known victim in the Sunday night shooting. The fifth victim has not been identified.

Brenda Hollins said she heard that her son initially"made it off the bus" unharmed, but Mike Hollins "went back to help his friends and was shot" in the back. The bullet exited through his stomach. "That's my baby. I could absolutely see him doing that," she added. "When he loves you, he loves you. He works hard and he sets his goals high. He strives. He is a fighter."

Police identified Christopher Darnell Jones Jr., 22, as the shooter and arrested him on three counts of second-degree murder, among other charges. Jones was on the Virginia football team in 2018 but did not appear in a game."It's hard to not be angry," she said."But I'm working through that… I pray for them… His family, they're victims also. I pray for them and I'm working through forgiveness. Because we have to, we have to forgive.
