ONE student is dead after being stabbed inside dorm room at a Pennsylvania university Wednesday night, officials confirmed.
Two other students were injured in violent attack, executed by an unknown attacker. The student, who attended Lincoln University and has yet to be identified, died at the scene, according to the Chester County District Attorney’s office and campus police. Two other victims were taken to a nearby Delaware hospital, where they were treated and released.
Police said they believe the attack was an isolated incident and are continuing to investigate. A lot of local shop reports that investigators appear to be focusing on a pile of debris lying on the grass near the school football stadium.
Lincoln University, a famous and historic black institution, was founded in 1854 as America’s first degree-granting HBCU. Nearly 2,000 students were registered on campus at the end of last year.
School officials released a statement Thursday morning, saying, “We are deeply saddened by the incident that occurred on campus last night. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families. We take the safety of our students very seriously and are working with local authorities as there is an ongoing investigation.”
The statement added that there would be no further comment at that time.
