Man killed, 6 wounded in shooting at Lincoln University in Pennsylvania, officials say

LOWER OXFORD TWP, Pa. -- At least one person was killed and six others wounded in a shooting Saturday night at Lincoln University in Pennsylvania, according to authorities.

A man who was killed has now been identified. Jujuan Jeffers, 20, of Wilmington, Delaware, died shortly after midnight after being shot in the head during the gunfire Saturday night.

The shooting occurred outside the university's International Cultural Center during homecoming celebrations following a football game.

Six people were wounded in the shooting, all between the ages of 20 and 25. They are all expected to survive, Chester County District Attorney Chris de Barrena-Sarobe said in a news conference on Sunday evening.

"This is a devastating night," de Barrena-Sarobe said. "It was a chaotic scene and people fled in every direction."

One person was detained and was in possession of a firearm, de Barrena-Sarobe said, adding that it was possible that there might be another shooter. Officials do not believe that the incident was a planned mass shooting, the district attorney said.

"We are investigating with the full power of federal, state and local law enforcement," de Barrena-Sarobe said.

One of the victims is a current student, another is an alum, while the rest have no connection to the university.

One person has been arrested in connection with this shooting so far.

Zecqueous Morgan-Thompson, also a resident of Wilmington, has been charged with carrying a concealed firearm without a license and is being held on $25,000 cash bail.

Investigators are not yet able to say if the gun found on Morgan-Thompson was used in the shooting.

An investigation into the circumstances of the shooting continues, and authorities have a "strong belief" that there was more than one shooter, de Barrena-Sarobe said.

However, authorities don't think this was a planned shooting, but rather that the violence erupted spontaneously.

"We are operating under the belief that the shooter or shooters in this case did not come here with the specific design to cause a mass casualty event. We believe they would have operated differently. So we're treating this as a shooting that broke out in the middle of homecoming weekend," de Barrena-Sarobe said.

The Chester County District Attorney's Office said in an initial statement on social media early on Sunday that law enforcement was "investigating the shooting at Lincoln University" and had identified seven gunshot victims.

"It's just so sad. It's traumatic, a little bit. We heard people got shot, got killed. You come out here to have a good time and you never expect for this to happen. It's very traumatic," said witness Ajia Hopkins.

The university said in a statement Sunday morning that it would be offering counseling services for anyone in need of support.

"We set this out to be a time to celebrate the legacy of Lincoln University, the first HBCU [historically Black colleges and universities] in the country," said Marc Partee, Lincoln University's director of public safety. "Devastated. If there was another word to describe that, that's more impactful, I would use it. But devastated is a start," Partee continued.

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro said in a post to X that he was briefed on the shooting and offered his support to the university.

Lincoln University, a historically Black university, is located in the southeastern part of Pennsylvania.
