A violent weekend in Chester

It was another rough weekend in the city of Chester.

In a span of about 24 hours, starting Friday night, two men were fatally shot, and an 11-year-old boy sitting inside his house was hit by a stray bullet.

Luckily, his injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.

Police have made an arrest in one of the fatal shootings, which police now believe stemmed from an argument.

The two shootings mark the 19th and 20th homicides in the city in 2017.

Delaware County has recorded 21 in total. The only other homicide took place in Darby Borough. You can get all the details here.
