   The student accused of killing three University of Virginia   
   football players after a school field trip was denied bail   
   Wednesday during a court hearing in Charlottesville.   
      
   According to a witness, suspect Christopher Darnell Jones Jr.   
   shot one of the players, Devin Chandler, while he was sleeping,   
   the Albemarle County prosecutor said. Fellow UVA Cavaliers Lavel   
   Davis Jr. and D’Sean Perry were also killed.   
      
   Wednesday’s hearing also revealed that Jones was charged and   
   convicted of a reckless driving and hit and run in 2021 and had   
   a concealed weapons charge the same year. He received suspended   
   sentences for all of the offenses.   
      
   Jones remains in custody in Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional   
   Jail, according to online records. He was assigned a public   
   defender until his next hearing in December – a status hearing   
   that will discuss whether Jones has retained private counsel,   
   Albemarle County Commonwealth’s Attorney James Hingeley said.   
      
   Jones was on a field trip Sunday with fellow UVA students to see   
   a play in Washington, DC, a university spokesperson said.   
      
   When the bus returned to the Charlottesville campus, authorities   
   said, the 22-year-old opened fire on the bus, killing Chandler,   
   Davis and Perry.   
      
   Jones faces three charges of second-degree murder and three   
   counts of using a handgun in the commission of a felony, UVA   
   Police Chief Timothy Longo Sr. said.   
      
   He also faces two counts of malicious wounding, each accompanied   
   by a firearm charge. Two others were injured in the shooting,   
   Hingeley said.   
      
   The prosecutor identified the injured as Marlee Morgan and   
   Michael Hollins.   
      
   In an emailed statement, UVA Health spokesperson Eric Swensen   
   indicated, without naming anyone, that one of the injured   
   remains in the hospital in fair condition.   
      
   Hollins, a junior running back on the university’s football   
   team, was intubated but stable Tuesday morning, his family said.   
   On Wednesday, the family said in a statement he underwent two   
   successful surgeries in the last 48 hours.   
      
   “As Mike starts down the path toward healing– physically,   
   emotionally and spiritually– the process will take time,” a   
   statement from the family read. “We ask that you respect his   
   privacy and continue giving him space to mend.”   
      
   CNN reached out to the family of Marlee Morgan.   
      
   ‘We thought he was going to shoot everyone on the bus’   
   UVA student Ryan Lynch told CNN affiliate KYW-TV she was on the   
   bus where the shooting took place and saw Jones push one of the   
   victims.   
      
   “Chris got up and pushed Lavel,” Lynch said. “After he pushed   
   him, he was like ‘You guys are always messing with me.’ Said   
   something weird like that, but it was very bizarre because they   
   didn’t talk to him the whole trip.”   
      
   Then gunfire erupted.   
      
   “They just kept coming, more and more gunshots,” Lynch told KYW.   
   “We thought he was going to shoot everyone on the bus.”   
      
   But “the shooter just kind of walked or, like, skipped off the   
   bus,” Lynch said.   
      
   Suspect bought 2 guns this year, shop owner says   
   Jones bought two guns, a semiautomatic rifle and a pistol, in   
   separate purchases this year, according to the owner of Dance’s   
   Sporting Goods in Colonial Heights.   
      
   But Jones also had twice unsuccessfully to buy a firearm there,   
   Marlon Dance told CNN in an email. In 2018 he was younger than   
   the legal age (21) to buy a handgun and was denied a purchase.   
   Three years later he tried to buy a rifle, but failed a   
   background check, according to Dance.   
      
   In an email to CNN, Virginia State Police Spokesperson Corinne   
   Geller said an investigation into the attempted purchase on July   
   8, 2021 revealed that the state police firearms transaction   
   center denied Jones’ request based on an ongoing legal matter.   
      
   “The pending charge was reduced to a misdemeanor by the court in   
   October 2021, thereby removing the prohibition against future   
   purchases,” Geller said.   
      
   CNN has reached out to University of Virginia Police for comment   
   on the shooting investigation and the gun used but has not heard   
   back.   
      
   The rest of the football season is in limbo   
   UVA’s scheduled game against Coastal Carolina on Saturday has   
   been canceled, the university’s athletics department announced   
   Wednesday.   
      
   “The game would have been Virginia’s final home game of the 2022
