Additional charges were announced Tuesday against the man accused of killing three football players and wounding two others in a weekend shooting at the University of Virginia ahead of his initial court appearance Wednesday

The new charges – two counts of malicious wounding, each accompanied by a firearm charge – are related to the two people who were injured in the Sunday shooting, Albemarle County Commonwealth’s Attorney James Hingeley told CNN. The deadly violence erupted on a bus that had returned to the Charlottesville campus Sunday after a field trip to Washington, DC, where a class had seen a play, a UVA spokesperson said, leaving the campus, football team and city in mourning.

Jones previously had been tried and convicted of a misdemeanor concealed weapons violation in 2021, for which he received a 12-month suspended sentence and a small fine.” Coy said throughout the investigation “Mr. Jones repeatedly refused to cooperate with University officials who were seeking additional information about the claims that he had a firearm and about his failure to disclose the previous misdemeanor conviction.

Normally they wait till they make the NFL BEFORE they start killing.
