"At least one person was killed and six others wounded in a shooting at Lincoln University in Pennsylvania late on Saturday, as students and alumni celebrated homecoming at outdoor festivities at the historically Black university, authorities said. A person who had a firearm was detained, and officials are investigating the possibility that there was more than one shooter but don't believe there is any active threat to the campus, Chester county's district attorney, Christopher de Barrena-Sarobe, said during a brief news conference early on Sunday."
"Authorities weren't sharing details about the victims, including their conditions or where the injured were being treated. The campus is about 50 miles (80km) south-west of Philadelphia. Chester county detectives are leading the investigation, with support from state police and the FBI. Saturday's shooting is the latest in a disturbing trend of gun violence at homecoming games and celebrations across the nation this football season. On Friday, five people were shot near Washington DC's Howard University as the school celebrated homecoming weekend."
