Christopher Darnell Jones Junior, a former University of Virginia student, was sentenced to life in prison for the fatal shooting of three football players and wounding two others in 2022. Jones, who pleaded guilty last year, received five life sentences for the killings and aggravated malicious wounding. The shooting occurred on a charter bus as students returned from a trip to Washington D.C., leading to a campus lockdown. Jones, who did not know the victims, will be eligible for parole at 60. The university agreed to pay a $9 million settlement to victims and their families.
