News 3's Jay Greene showed some students the surveillance video of the shooting and got their reactions.
"It's really shocking," said Emmanuel Avila, a freshman.
"That was just really horrible," junior Caroline Blatchford told Greene.
Students said they typically feel safe at any time.
"I feel really safe around here. It’s honestly kinda surprising," Avila said. "I’m always having fun with my friends."
"I look at Williamsburg as such a close-knit community where I don’t hear anything bad that’s happened," Blatchford said.
Williamsburg police said the investigation into the case is still ongoing at this time.
Jackson's attorneys declined to comment on the outcome of the case.
Court records show Jackson was sentenced to 50 years with 43 years suspended on each charge. That's a total of 21 active years in prison to be served consecutively.
Upon his release, the Commonwealth's Attorney's Office said he is banned from being within a mile radius of where the shooting happened.
