2 dead, 3 injured in Chester shooting at Delaware County Linen appeared on whyy.org by Kenny Cooper.
Five people were shot Wednesday morning at the Delaware County Linen in the city of Chester.
According to Delaware County District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer, an employee came to work with a firearm and shot five of his colleagues. Two people were fatally wounded and three were injured. The alleged shooter is in custody.
Stollsteimer provided an update alongside Chester Police Commissioner Steven Gretzky. Stollsteimer described the incident as a “workplace shooting” where an employee “took out his anger.”
Delaware County Linen, located on the 2600 block of West 4th Street, has been in operation since 1988.
Law enforcement officials are processing the crime scene.
Wounded victims were taken to Crozer-Chester Medical Center in Upland Borough.
Following the shooting, Chester Mayor Stefan Roots was standing outside the business’ perimeter. He told WHYY News his immediate reaction was “extreme sorrow, anger, confusion and as mayor — a call for action.”
“We’re a strong community here in Chester. We have been through many things,” Roots said. “This is one that no one would have ever anticipated”
He applauded police for capturing the alleged shooter without incident.
“In a tragedy like this, that’s the closest we can come to a good ending,” Roots said.
Chester City Council ended its regularly scheduled public meeting early on Wednesday to address the situation.
In a statement to WHYY News, Councilmember Fred Green said it was “important to forgo city business to take care of community business.”
“My thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families during this unimaginable time. No words can adequately convey the depth of our grief, but we stand united in our support for those affected,” Green said.
