Fourth UVa shooting victim, football player Mike Hollins, undergoing second surgery today
BY MIKE BARBER Richmond Times-Dispatch Nov 15, 2022 Updated 1 hr ago
CHARLOTTESVILLE – Virginia junior running back Mike Hollins, one of five people injured during Sunday’s shooting on campus, is undergoing a second surgery Tuesday morning, according to his mother.
“Family, Mike will be going in for his 2nd surgery at 8am. Keep praying!!! And please keep praying for all of the families that are going through this horrific tragedy,” Brenda Hollins wrote. ... She ended her message with Hollins’ jersey number – 7 – and a praying hands emoji.
Hollins’s Virginia teammates Lavel Davis Jr. and Devin Chandler, both wide receivers, and linebacker D’Sean Perry were killed in the shooting that occurred Sunday in a school parking garage aboard a charter bus returning from a class field trip to Washington D.C.
Hollins and one other unidentified person were also injured in the incident. At a press briefing Monday, university president Jim Ryan said he had spoken to one of the victims, who was in good condition. The other, Ryan said, was in critical condition.
