Classes were canceled for a second straight day Tuesday at the University of Virginia as the campus community mourned the death of three students gunned down after returning from a class field trip.

D’Sean Perry, Lavel Davis Jr. and Devin Chandler were members of UVA's football team. Running back Mike Hollins was one of two people wounded in the rampage, his mother said.

The suspect, Christopher Darnell Jones Jr., was on the team as a freshman in 2018 but did not play in any games. Jones, 22, was arrested Monday morning in Henrico County, Virginia, near Richmond, following an intensive, 12-hour search.

Jones faces arraignment on three counts of second-degree murder and related charges. No motive for the attack has been determined, authorities said.
