  Three University of Virginia football players killed in an on-campus shooting were remembered Monday by their head coach as "all good kids." Devin Chandler, Lavel Davis Jr., and D'Sean Perry were juniors returning to campus from a class trip to see a play Sunday night when authorities say they were killed by a fellow student. The young men were also members of the Virginia football team, journeying through periods of transition in their careers - whether it was bouncing back from a season-ending injury, changing positions on the team or transferring in from another school. "They were all good kids," head football coach Tony Elliott said early Monday afternoon. He said he would talk about the victims "when the time is right." The shooting happened just after 10:15 p.m. Sunday as a charter bus full of students returned from seeing a play in Washington.

University President Jim Ryan said authorities did not have a "full understanding" of the motive or circumstances surrounding the shooting. Police on Monday captured a university student, Christopher Darnell Jones Jr., 22, whom they say is suspected of shooting the three football players and wounding two others. Jones had once played on the football team, but had not been a member of the team for at least a year, police said. Davis was a 6-foot-7 wide receiver from Dorchester, South Carolina. He finished the 2020 season ranked No. 2 in the nation and No. 1 in the Atlantic Coast Conference for average yards per reception, among many other accolades. - AP College Football
