A shooting on the campus of the University of Virginia this Sunday night left three dead and two injured, as explained by university police through social networks.
Agents identified a student named Christopher Darnell Jones as the suspect in the shooting and said multiple agencies were conducting an active search. In addition, they asked that no one approach him.
Jones was described as wearing a "burgundy jacket, blue jeans and red shoes," and may have been driving a black SUV, according to authorities.
An email sent to the student body by the university's vice president recommended that all students seek safety and follow shelter-in-place orders while the situation remained active.
The shooting is the latest in a wave of gun violence on US college and high school campuses in recent years. The bloodshed has fueled debate over tighter restrictions on access to guns in the United States, where the Second Amendment to the Constitution guarantees the right to bear arms.
