“This is every parent’s nightmare,” said Chester County District Attorney Deb Ryan. “We extend our deepest condolences to the family and loved ones impacted as a result of this tragedy.”
Students at the university held a vigil Thursday night to mourn the death of their fellow classmate.

We take the safety of our students seriously and are working with local authorities as there is an ongoing investigation.”
“The Chester County District Attorney’s Office says this was an isolated incident and that there’s no immediate threat to the public. But still, no one has been arrested,” the university

"This is very much a peaceful community, so when something like this happens, it's just always very tragic. This is such a quiet place to live, even though [I'm] living across the street from a college campus, they still keep it fairly quiet, except if it's, like, homecoming or something," an
anonymous source told 6ABC Philadelphia.
