One person was killed and six others were injured during a shooting at Lincoln University in Pennsylvania on Sunday, CBS News reported.
One person has since been arrested, according to Chester County District Attorney Christopher de Barrena-Sarobe.
Police were present on the campus, and a witness said that they saw one of the victims receiving CPR.
"Law enforcement has responded to the scene and is actively investigating," the Chester County District Attorney's Office said in a statement. "Please avoid the area at this time."
"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," said Josh Shapiro, Governor of Pennsylvania, on the situation.
"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 added.
Shooting during homecoming weekend
Lincoln University, one of the Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), was celebrating its homecoming weekend when the shooting happened.
"This was to be a joyous occasion," Lincoln University police chief Marc Partee said during a Sunday morning conference. "Homecoming, when individuals come back, and they give back to their alma mater, and they live the good memories of their time at Lincoln University, which has helped them propel into life. This was interrupted by gunfire that should not have occurred."
"This mass shooting should never have happened. Never have happened," Barrena-Sarobe said, echoing the statement.
Located about 45 miles southwest of Philadelphia and about 25 miles west of Wilmington, Delaware, there are still no details of the full context of the shooting.
