A suspect is in custody after three football players were killed and two other students were injured in a mass shooting at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville on Sunday night, authorities said.<\/p>\n

The shooting took place on a bus full of students returning home from a class field trip to see a play in Washington, D.C., university officials said.<\/p>\n

All three victims killed were on the football team, University of Virginia President Jim Ryan said at a news conference. The victims were identified as wide receivers Lavel Davis Jr. and Devin Chandler and linebacker D\u2019Sean Perry.<\/p>\n

The suspect, identified as student Christopher Darnell Jones Jr., was taken into custody Monday morning following an overnight manhunt, authorities announced.<\/p>\n

Jones was a running back for the university’s football team in 2018, though he never played in a game.
\nThe shooting was reported on the University of Virginia’s campus at about 10:30 p.m. local time, according to police.<\/p>\n

University of Virginia sophomore Em Gunter said she was in her dormitory doing schoolwork when she heard gunshots.<\/p>\n
