One person was killed and at least six others injured during a shooting at Lincoln University in Pennsylvania.
Authorities identified the victim as 25-year-old J’Wan Jeffers of Wilmington, Delaware. He died shortly after midnight from a gunshot wound to the head, Chester County District Attorney Chris de Barrena-Sarobe told reporters on Sunday.
Officials said one of the injured is a Lincoln University student, another an alumnus, while the remaining victims have no ties to the school. All are aged between 20 and 25 and are expected to recover.
Investigators believe multiple shooters were involved in the attack, which broke out late Saturday near the university’s International Cultural Center following homecoming celebrations.
Police arrested Zecqueous Morgan-Thompson after finding him carrying an unlicensed Glock 28 handgun. He has been charged with unlawful possession of a firearm, though it remains unclear if the weapon was used in the shooting.
“This mass shooting should never have happened,” de Barrena-Sarobe said, noting there was no evidence the suspects intended a large-scale attack.
Lincoln University President Brenda Allen said the community was “heartbroken” by the violence, calling it “senseless.” Classes have been suspended for Monday as the campus observes a day of healing and reflection.
Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro said the state is providing full support to the university and local authorities, urging people to avoid the area and to keep the Lincoln community in their prayers.
Federal, state, and local agencies — including the FBI — are leading the investigation.
