CLEMSON – Clemson players and coaches walked into the football facility Monday morning to the news that a shooting at the University of Virginia had claimed the lives of three football players, leaving all that heard to hurt for Tony Elliott and the Cavaliers.

Police have in custody a University of Virginia student and ex-UVA football player suspected of fatally shooting three current players and wounding two other people late Sunday at the school’s main campus in Charlottesville as a bus returned from a class field trip, school officials said.

Those killed were Cavaliers football players Devin Chandler, Lavel Davis Jr.
