The UVA Athletics website listed Jones as part of the university’s football team. According to the site, he didn’t play any games in 2018 but was on the roster. It wasn’t immediately clear what his overall involvement was on the team.

Jones played linebacker and running back at Petersburg High School in Petersburg, Virginia, reported WRIC.

All classes were canceled Monday, and only designated essential employees were reporting to work. University Transit Service suspended all academic routes Monday morning. Transit officials said they would re-evaluate their ability for service in the afternoon.

Ryan issued a statement early Monday morning saying he was heartbroken following the shooting.

“We are working closely with the families of the victims, and we will share additional details as soon as we are able,” said Ryan. “This is a message any leader hopes to never have to send, and I am devastated that this violence has visited the University of Virginia.”
