Hell came for college football on Sunday, the way it comes too often for too many corners of American society.
On Saturday, the University of Virginia played Pittsburgh in a home football game. On Sunday, some of the Cavalier players, along with non-athlete students, boarded a charter bus as part of a class field trip to see a play in Washington, D.C.
As the bus returned to campus late Sunday night, everything erupted.
A gunman. A shooting on the bus. Three dead students, each a football player. Two others injured, at least one of whom was a player.
