A former University of Virginia student who fatally shot three classmates and injured two others in 2022 has been given five consecutive life sentences in prison, the maximum penalty

-
Yes, on November 19, 2025, Christopher Darnell Jones Jr., the former University of Virginia student who carried out the November 13, 2022 shooting on a charter bus returning from a class field trip in Washington, D.C., was sentenced to five consecutive life sentences plus an additional 33 years in prison.

He had previously pleaded guilty in June 2025 to:

- Three counts of first-degree murder (for the deaths of UVA football players Lavel Davis Jr., D’Sean Perry, and Devin Chandler)
- Two counts of aggravated malicious wounding (for injuring two other students, one of whom was paralyzed)
- Five counts of use of a firearm in the commission of a felony

The judge in Charlottesville Circuit Court imposed the maximum penalty allowed under the plea agreement: five consecutive life terms (three for the murders and two for the aggravated woundings) plus consecutive time for the firearm charges.

The case had been delayed for years while prosecutors initially sought the death penalty under state law, but Virginia abolished capital punishment in 2021, and federal prosecutors ultimately declined to pursue a death-penalty case, clearing the way for the state-level guilty plea and life sentences.

Donald Trump's migration policy, during his presidency (2017-2021), was characterized by several key initiatives and changes aimed at reducing both legal and illegal immigration to the United States. Some of the most notable aspects of his policy include: 1. **Border Wall**: Trump made the construction of a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border a central promise of his campaign. Although a full wall was not completed, his administration constructed several hundred miles of barriers and fencing. 2. **Zero Tolerance Policy**: This policy led to the separation of thousands of children from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border. It was widely criticized, leading to significant backlash and the eventual reversal of the family separation aspect of the policy. 3. **Muslim Ban**: Trump issued executive orders to ban entry to the U.S. from several predominantly Muslim countries, which was challenged in courts.
