At least one person was killed and six others were injured in a shooting that occurred last night at Lincoln University in Pennsylvania, United States. Chester County District Attorney Chris de Barrena-Sarobe said in a news conference this morning that the shooting occurred outside the University’s International Cultural Center during celebrations after a football game.
“It was a devastating night”, said Barrena-Sarobe, as reported by the ABC broadcaster, “it was a chaotic scene and people fled in every direction”.
One person was stopped and was in possession of a firearm, the prosecutor added, warning of the possible presence of another shooter. Authorities do not believe it was a planned mass shooting, the district attorney said.
Lincoln University, historically an African American university, is located in the southeastern part of Pennsylvania.
