One person is dead and six others are injured after a shooting Saturday night on the campus of Lincoln University of Pennsylvania, the Chester County district attorney said.

District Attorney Christopher de Barrena-Sarobe said during an overnight news conference that seven people were shot during Homecoming festivities at the university. He said one person is in custody and was in possession of a gun.

The school was placed on lockdown, but it has since been lifted. Officials said they do not believe there is an active threat to the campus.

The shooting happened just after 9 p.m. during the school's tailgate and yardfest event near the football field. The school is located on Baltimore Pike in western Chester County, about 50 miles from Philadelphia.
