Initial reports indicated there might have been two victims, but authorities have since confirmed that one individual was pronounced dead at the scene, while the status of a second possible victim remains uncertain, with some indications suggesting only a non-gunshot-related injury.

Police have assured the public that there is no ongoing threat, and they are actively interviewing witnesses and collecting evidence to determine the full circumstances surrounding the shooting.
Authorities are urging anyone with information about the incident to contact local law enforcement to assist with the investigation.
The Chester community remains shaken by the violence, and officials continue to emphasize caution and vigilance as they work to resolve the case.
