Virginia cancels Week 12 game vs. Coastal Carolina after shooting that killed 3 players

Virginia will not play Coastal Carolina on Saturday.

The school announced Wednesday that its Week 12 game against the Chanticleers had been canceled in the wake of a shooting that killed three football players and wounded another on Sunday night. Another student was also wounded in the shooting.

Devin Chandler, Lavel Davis Jr. and D’Sean Perry died Sunday night while Mike Hollins was wounded. The suspected shooter is Christopher Darnell Jones, a walk-on member of the football team in 2018. The shooting happened in a campus parking garage on Sunday night after a bus trip to see a theater production in Washington D.C. No alleged motive has been publicly released yet.

Saturday’s game against Coastal Carolina was set to be senior day and the final home game of the season for the Cavaliers. The school said Wednesday that it had not decided if it would play the final week of the season against Virginia Tech and a decision to play that game would be made at a later date.
