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

  The new charges — two counts of malicious wounding, each with a firearms charge — relate to the two people injured in Sunday’s shooting, Albemarle County Commonwealth’s Attorney James Hingeley told CNN.   

  The deadly violence erupted on a bus returning to the Charlottesville campus Sunday after a trip to Washington, D.C., where a class had seen a performance, a UVA spokesman said.   

  The suspect, Christopher Darnell Jones Jr., was on the trip and on the bus, school spokesman Brian Coy confirmed.   

  Jones also faces three counts of second-degree murder and three counts of use of a weapon in the commission of a felony, UVA Police Chief Timothy Longo Sr. said previously.   

  Jones’ first hearing will be held in Albemarle General District Court on Wednesday morning, according to court records.   

  “At his first appearance, the defendant will be advised of his right to counsel,” Hingley said.  “If he is financially eligible for a court-appointed attorney, he will be assigned an attorney.  The court may also undertake a preliminary review of the bail.’   

  Jones was arrested in Henrico County, about 80 miles east of Charlottesville, on Monday afternoon and taken to the Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail on Tuesday afternoon.   

  When announcing the additional charges Tuesday night, Hingley identified the people injured in the shooting as Marlee Morgan and Michael Hollins.   

  Hollins, a junior running back on the varsity football team, was intubated but stable Tuesday morning, his family said.  CNN has reached out to Marlee Morgan’s family.   

  UVA Health spokesman Eric Swensen gave CNN an update on the two injured Tuesday, saying one person was released and the other was in serious condition.  Swensen did not identify any individuals.   

  The three football players killed in the shooting were previously identified as Devin Chandler, Lavel Davis Jr.  and D’Sean Perry.   

  UVA student Ryan Lynch told CNN affiliate KYW-TV that she was on the bus where the shootings occurred and saw Jones push one of the victims.   

  “Chris got up and pushed Lavelle,” Lynch said.  “After he pushed him, he said, ‘You’re always messing with me.’  He said something strange like that, but it was very strange because they didn’t talk to him the whole trip.’   

  Then shots rang out.   

  “They just kept coming, more and more shots,” Lynch told KYW.  “We thought he was going to shoot everyone on the bus.”   

  But “the assailant just walked or, like, got off the bus,” Lynch said.   

  Before Sunday’s shooting, Jones was the subject of a pending case with the university’s judicial council as Sunday’s shooting unfolded, officials said.   

  “On Sept. 15, as part of a review of a possible hazing issue, UVA Student Affairs heard from a student that Mr. Jones made a comment to him about having a gun,” said Brian Coy, the university’s spokesman.   

  That person “did not see Mr. Jones in possession of a gun” and “the comment about having a gun was not made in conjunction with a threat,” Coy said.   

  “During their investigation, University officials spoke with Mr. Jones’ roommate, who gave no indication of the presence of weapons.  During their investigation, University officials discovered that Mr. Jones had previously 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 requested additional information about the allegations that he had a firearm and his failure to disclose his prior misdemeanor conviction.”   

  “The Threat Assessment Team escalated his case for disciplinary action” on Oct. 27, Coy said.   

  The school’s judicial board took over the case and the results are pending, said Longo, the school’s police chief.   

  Jones was also involved in a wild campus investigation that was called off because witnesses wouldn’t cooperate, Longo said.   

  Jones is listed on UVA’s athletics website as a 2018 freshman undefeated football player.  A UVA spokesperson told CNN Jones had a pre-existing injury that prevented him from playing on the football team in 2018.   

  Jones went through medical treatment and rehabilitation during his time with the team and was only a member of the team for one season, the spokesman says.   

  “What I do know is that the young man was an incoming freshman in 2018 who attended for one semester with our football program,” UVA director of athletics Carla Williams said Tuesday.   

  On Tuesday, UVA football coach Tony Elliott spoke publicly for the first time since the shooting.  He described the days following the attack as a nightmare.   

  “I’m ready for somebody to poke me and wake me up and say that didn’t happen,” Elliott said, adding that Tuesday “was a lot better, we were able to go through the pain to find some joy.  celebrating the lives of Lavel, D’Sean and Devin.”   

  The deaths of players Chandler, Davis Jr. and Perry left three huge holes on a team that felt more like a family than anything else, the coach said.  He went on to describe them, calling Chandler “the life of the party,” Davis “the big man on campus” and Perry “the quiet guy everyone wanted to know.”   

  Elliott praised the strength of his team and staff for coming together and being able to work the shot.  Elliott said the team inspired him to keep pushing.  At the same time, he said the staff is tasked with making sure the team has all the resources they need and that no one is isolated.   

  “The message to the team is that we will celebrate their lives going forward and the impact they have made so far and the legacy that they will help us establish going forward,” Elliott said.   

  As the team and community mourn, questions remain about the logistics of football and the university as a whole going forward.  Classes at UVA are set to resume Wednesday, Mike Mather, managing editor of UVA Today, told CNN Tuesday afternoon.   

  The Cavaliers are also scheduled to play a game against North Carolina on Saturday.   

  Williams said the athletic department — along with the football team and staff — will decide whether to play Saturday.   

  “We will use our best judgment,” he said late Tuesday.  “We will make a decision soon.”
