UVA agrees to $9 million settlement

The University of Virginia has agreed to pay $9 million as part of a settlement agreement related to the on-campus shooting that killed three UVA football players in 2022. The Associated Press report says the school has agreed to pay the families of D’Sean Perry, Devin Chandler, and Lavel Davis Jr. $2 million each as part of a settlement agreement after the three UVA football players were killed on campus, allegedly by former teammate Christopher Darnell Jones Jr. The school also agreed to pay $3 million total to two other students who were wounded in the shooting. The settlement comes months after the school announced it wouldn’t release the findings of an independent investigation into what led up to the shooting until Jones’ criminal trial is complete. According to the AP before the shooting, Jones was “on the radar” of the school’s threat assessment team
