LINCOLN UNIVERSITY, Pa. (AP) \u2014 Gunfire erupted during outdoor festivities at Pennsylvania\u2019s Lincoln University late Saturday, killing one person and wounding six others as students and alumni celebrated homecoming at the historically Black school, authorities said.<\/p>\n
A person who had a firearm was detained, and officials are investigating the possibility that there was more than one shooter but don\u2019t believe there is any active threat to the campus, Chester County District Attorney Christopher de Barrena-Sarobe said during a brief news conference early Sunday.<\/p>\n
