Police said the suspect, Chris Darnell Jones, was apprehended on Monday morning after a manhunt that lasted more than 12 hours and involved multiple law enforcement agencies, according to UVA Emergency Management. The shooting occurred around 10.30 pm ET on a charter bus full of students returning from a field trip to see a play, the university president said in a press conference.
