Governor Glenn Youngkin has ordered the lowering of American and State flags across the Commonwealth in memory of the victims of last year’s University of Virginia shooting.
The University of Virginia has canceled its game against rival Virginia Tech scheduled for Saturday following the slaying of three football players on campus just over a week ago.
Three University of Virginia football players who were shot on a bus as they returned from a field trip each died of a gunshot wound to the head, according to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.
A witness who saw a University of Virginia student open fire onboard a bus returning from a field trip told police the gunman targeted specific victims - many of them football players - shooting one as he slept, a prosecutor said in court Wednesday.
