Seven injured after shooting at Lincoln University in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania: Authorities said at least seven people were injured at a shooting at Pennsylvania's Lincoln University Saturday night.

The Chester County District Attorney’s Office said law enforcement had responded and were actively investigating.

No other details on the shooting, including the condition of the victims, were available. Authorities asked people to avoid the area.

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro said on X (formerly Twitter) that he was briefed on the shooting and offered the full support of his administration to the university and local law enforcement.

“I’ve been briefed on the shooting at Lincoln University tonight, and my Administration has offered our full support to President Allen and local law enforcement,” he wrote. 

“Please avoid the area, continue to follow the guidance of local law enforcement, and join Lori and me in praying for the Lincoln University community,” he concluded.

Lincoln, a historically Black university in Oxford, is about 45 miles (70 kilometers) southwest of Philadelphia.
