CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — A shooting on the grounds of the University of Virginia took three lives and hurt two other people late Sunday night.
For hours, there was an "active shooter" situation, where students were told to shelter in place and be prepared to "run hide fight." Even once police officers arrested a suspect Monday, there were still many questions about what unfolded, and how.
It's an ongoing investigation, so details are coming out as the police department is able to share them. Here's what we know so far.
Where did the UVA shooting happen?
The shooting happened outside the Culbreth Garage, located on Culbreth Road. The garage is near Carr's Hill Field and UVA's Drama Building.
UVA President Jim Ryan said the shooting happened around 10:30 p.m. Sunday night on a charter bus returning from a school field trip to D.C.
The Associated Press has confirmed that the suspect, Christopher Darnell Jones, was a part of that field trip.
Who were the victims in the shooting?
Ryan confirmed that the three people who died were football players Devin Chandler, Lavel Davis and D'Sean Perry.
Chandler was a second-year student at UVA. Ryan said during the Monday press conference that he was from Virginia Beach, but Chandler's player bio page on UVA Football's website listed his hometown as Huntersville, North Carolina.
Davis was a third-year student at UVA, from Ridgeville, South Carolina. Perry was a fourth-year student at UVA, from Miami, Florida.
Friends, family members and teachers have been sharing tributes online since the tragedy, telling stories about how Chandler, Davis and Perry were leaders on and off the field.
Of the two other victims, one is in critical condition and the other is expected to recover. By Tuesday, school officials hadn't given an update on their conditions.
Reporters from Louisiana have reported that Mike Hollins, also a football player, was one of the people who got hurt. On Twitter, his mother has asked people to pray for his journey through surgery.
Marlee Morgan was also shot but survived the shooting.
Who was the gunman?
Authorities believe that UVA student Christopher Darnell Jones was the gunman. He was arrested in Henrico County, over 70 miles from the shooting scene.
He faces three counts each of second-degree murder and using a handgun in the commission of a felony. More charges could be pending if new information becomes available, UVA Police Chief Tim Longo said.
According to Longo, Jones came to the attention of the university's threat assessment team in the fall of 2022, when they got a report about a comment he made about possessing a gun.
UVA's Office of Student Affairs tried to reach out to Jones and his roommate. Jones' roommate didn't report seeing a weapon, Longo said.
Jones was also allegedly involved in a hazing investigation, but Longo said the investigation was discontinued due to witnesses not cooperating.
Longo said the threat assessment team's investigation found that Jones had a prior criminal incident involving a concealed weapon violation outside of Charlottesville in February 2021.
"What's interesting about that case is he's required, as a student at the University of Virginia, to report that and he never did, so the university has taken appropriate administrative charges to the university's judiciary council," Longo said. "That matter is still pending adjudication."
How is UVA responding to the shooting?
The University canceled classes on Monday and Tuesday and is offering mental health services to anyone who needs them.
Monday, UVA Emergency Management pointed people to the Assistance Center at the corner of Edgemont Road and McCormick Road (505 Edgemont Road).
If you need to speak with Counseling and Psychological Services, you can also call 434-243-5150 any time of day or night. There are more details about walk-in support options here.
Aside from counseling, the community has also held several vigils, and has been putting up signs and memorials on the grounds to honor the victims in this shooting.
One of the main ones is at the football stadium where Chandler, Davis and Perry played.

Ryan also said he would open his home to students who need support this week.
"In addition, my wife, Katie, and I are opening our home—Carr’s Hill—to students every afternoon this week from 2-5pm for those who wish to come together and hang out with each other and a dog or cat, or two," he wrote Tuesday.
Other universities across the commonwealth have been showing solidarity with UVA through vigils and social media posts. You can see some of those efforts here.
When will classes resume at UVA?
The university will be starting classes back on a normal schedule on Wednesday, Nov. 16.
However, to give students some time to recover, Ryan said undergraduate students wouldn't have to complete any graded assignments or take tests before the Thanksgiving break.
Faculty has also been asked to be as flexible as possible about attendance.
