Mike Hollins, one of the University of Virginia students who survived Sunday night's shooting, does not yet know three of his friends and teammates were killed, according to his mother.
In her first television interview since the shooting, Brenda Hollins told CBS News that her son, a running back for the school's football team, is using pen and paper to ask about his friends.
Devin Chandler, Lavel Davis Jr. and D'Sean Perry were killed in the shooting on a bus as it pulled into a campus garage. They were returning from a field trip. "What I'm hearing is Mike made it off the bus, but went back to help his friends and was shot," Brenda Hollins said of the information that came to her second hand."So, that's my baby. I could absolutely see him doing that."
"It's the call that you never want to get," she said."You hear other people receiving [those calls], and you hope and pray that you never get it. But when you do, your world stops." "I was having a hard time sleeping, falling asleep, I just felt uneasy," she said, saying it was about her"connection" with her son."I felt something." "When he loves you, he loves you," she said."He works hard and he sets his goals high.
