UVA shooting suspect was reportedly on school's radar for possible links to weapons violations
Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares explains efforts to investigate the recent shooting on the University of Virginia campus that left three football players dead and two other students injured.
Michael Hollins Jr., a 22-year-old football player at the University of Virginia, has been discharged from the hospital after undergoing surgeries for wounds he suffered during an on-campus shooting that killed three of his teammates last week.
Hollins’ mother Brenda tweeted the update Monday morning, writing, "Hallelujah."
"This has truly been a test of faith and I'm grateful," Brenda Hollins wrote.
Hollins, who was one of two players injured but not killed in the deadly shooting, is a running back on the team. He was shot in the back and placed on a ventilator. He underwent multiple surgeries.
Brenda Hollins asked for prayers for her son as he continues recovery and asked the community to pray for the families of his teammates who were shot and killed.
