CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — University of Virginia sophomore Ryan Lynch told ABC News that she's still traumatized and mourning the loss of her three friends, Lavel Davis Jr., Devin Chandler and D'Sean Perry who were shot in a bus that was on campus, and the memory is still fresh in her mind.
Lynch was on that bus that was returning from a school trip Sunday night to a play in Washington, D.C., and recalled that she heard the gunshots go off as she was picking up her belongings.
"I saw the shooter pass me and he passed me very slowly. So I was scared that with all the shots that were fired, he had shot everyone on the bus. So I thought he was going to shoot me too," Lynch told ABC News' Linsey Davis."I just sat there quiet, still didn't say anything. And thank goodness he just passed me and went off the bus."
"So we said, 'We're trying to help you. We're going to get help for you. There's nothing we can do, but we're right now. But we're going to get help for you,'" Lynch said.Christopher Darnell Jones Jr., who also attended the trip, was taken into custody Monday morning following an overnight manhunt. He has been charged with several criminal counts including three counts of second-degree murder and three counts of using a handgun in the commission of a felony.
Lynch said she had met and talked Jones previously in the school year and said there weren't any signs of strange behavior.
