Lincoln University Homecoming Shooting Kills One

A shooting struck Lincoln University's Homecoming/YardFest near the football field just after 9 p.m. on Saturday, killing at least one person and wounding multiple others, with reports of the number shot varying between four and seven. Local, state and federal law enforcement responded, and the Chester County District Attorney’s Office said investigators are actively probing the incident and asked anyone with information to contact the FBI. The campus was placed on lockdown and an active‑shooter alert that was issued was later lifted; witnesses described panicked crowds, stampedes and some people being treated at the scene. Media accounts differed on whether a suspect is in custody, and authorities have not publicly confirmed a motive as the investigation continues. Lincoln University said counseling would be available for those affected, and Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and county officials offered state support.
