NEW: Three people were killed and two others were injured in a shooting at the University of Virginia late Sunday and the gunman, identified as a student, is on the run, the university's president says.
Three people were killed and two others were injured in a shooting at the University of Virginia late Sunday and the gunman, identified as a student, remains at large, the university's president announced Monday morning.
The university’s emergency management issued received reports of shots fired at a campus parking garage on Culbreth Road in Charlottesville around 10:30 p.m. They advised the community to shelter in place, and reach out to friends and family and let them know their status. "I am heartbroken to report that the shooting has resulted in three fatalities; two additional victims were injured and are receiving medical care," UVA President Jim Ryan said.
Police said they were looking for Christopher Darnell Jones, Jr. in connection with the deadly shooting and shared a photo of the suspect, who Ryan described in his statement as"one of our students." That same photo appears on a 2018 football roster on the website for the Virginia Cavaliers, but the profile says he did not appear in any games that year.
The UVA Police Department is looking for Christopher Darnell Jones regarding the shooting incident that occurred on the grounds of the University of Virginia. Call 911 if seen, do not approach.
