So the shooter was a former player targeting current players? Did I hear this correctly?

No matter who the victims are this is just awful that someone took 3 lives for no sensible reason.

I have so many questions…one of the guys reportedly killed was a freshman and this guy last played in 2018

Homicidal maniacs usually aren’t applying logic and reason into their decisions.

How many players or athletes are still around if he last played 4 years ago? His attack was probably more institutional or opportunistic rather than personal. He knew the layout of the campus and facilities.

Also, we don’t know for sure he was targeting anyone. It might have been a drug deal gone bad, or an argument over a girlfriend that escalated.

Coincidence? Were they rooming together and just wrong place, wrong time?

I'm seeing the 2 injured are Dontayvion Wicks and Mike Hollins. Both guys from Louisiana.


Probably didn’t think they’d have to put up with this shite at UVA

Someone claiming to be a relative of Wicks said he was not injured.

I'm watching the police news conference from UVA.

ETA: They said that he had a prior incident with an unregistered firearm. And also a hazing incident that went unprosecuted because the witnesses were uncooperative.

If some joke is the first place you go when you hear about something like this, you should be checked for mental illness.

I read they were all together on a bus returning from a field trip.

There’s no way they play this Saturday, right? I mean, how do you regroup in 5 days for a game. That seems so insignificant now.

You would hope the school playing them would agree to either suspending or cancelling the game this week.

No chance and I can’t imagine they finish the season the following week either

The final game is VA Tech the big rivalry game. I can see them playing that game but cancelling the game against Coastal Carolina this weekend.

Interesting. This could get ugly (not that it already isn't).

They’re 3-7 and an ex teammate just slaughtered three of their own

If they want to rally to play a pointless road game for closure then all the more power to them but I’d have to think they’re done for the year
