In LOWER OXFORD TOWNSHIP, Pa. — Uncertainty still looms large over the tragic mass shooting that unfolded at Pennsylvania’s Lincoln University over the weekend.
On Saturday night, the shooting resulted in one fatality and left six others injured. Authorities have detained one individual in connection with the incident.
Investigators do not suspect that this was a premeditated mass shooting. Instead, they suggest that the gunfire erupted unexpectedly amidst the homecoming festivities.
The incident occurred at approximately 9:30 p.m. on Saturday, outside the International Cultural Center, as the university community was celebrating homecoming after a football game.
During a Sunday evening press conference, police revealed that they believe multiple individuals were involved in discharging firearms during the tragic event.
Investigators are reviewing videos from people who were at the scene and are asking anyone with footage to share it with the FBI.
Authorities identified the person who was killed as Jujuan Jeffers, 25, of Wilmington, Delaware, and said he died just after midnight after suffering a gunshot wound to the head.
The six people who were wounded are expected to recover, officials said. They range in age from 20 to 25. One is a current Lincoln University student and another is a graduate. The others have no direct connection to the school, according to officials.
Zecqueous Morgan Thompson has been arrested and charged with carrying a concealed gun without a license. Investigators haven’t confirmed whether his weapon was used in the shooting. He is being held at Chester County Prison on $25,000 cash bail.
Lincoln University, a historically Black university, is located in the southeastern part of Pennsylvania.
In a statement on social media, the university said classes would be canceled on Monday.
“What occurred last night was tragic for our students, our families, and our community.” the statement said. “Gun violence happens far too often in our country, and we are heartbroken that Lincoln University and its students are among the latest victims of such senseless violence.”
Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro said in a post to X on Sunday afternoon that his administration has been in contact with university officials since the shooting occurred. The governor said he has offered the “full support” of the state to Lincoln University President Brenda Allen, adding that the Pennsylvania State Police stands ready to help Barrena-Sarobe’s office with the investigation.
In the statement, Shapiro said the weekend “should have been spent celebrating the legacy of our nation’s first degree-granting HBCU, not putting the pieces together after a mass shooting.”
Shapiro added that he and his wife, Lori, “are praying for the six people injured, the families sick with worry, and the one soul who will not come home. May their memory be a blessing.”
Lincoln University has suspended classes for Monday. Counseling services will be available throughout the week.
The university will also hold a healing and reflection event at noon on Monday.
Authorities are asking anyone with information to contact 1-800-CALLFBI. You can also submit photos and video to the FBI website.
