Virginia's game vs. Coastal canceled after death of 3 players in shooting
Virginia canceled its home game against Coastal Carolina on Saturday, the school announced Wednesday.
The decision comes after an on-campus shooting Sunday night resulted in the deaths of three members of the Cavaliers' football team - wide receivers Devin Chandler and Lavel Davis Jr. and linebacker D'Sean Perry.
The incident also wounded two other students, including running back Mike Hollins. Police arrested Christopher Darnell Jones Jr., a former football player at Virginia, Monday as a suspect.
ACC commissioner Jim Phillips released a statement Wednesday supporting Virginia's decision to cancel the game.
