On Sunday we detailed the belief of many Delaware County law enforcement officials of a potential silver lining to the coronavirus pandemic - a dip in crime.
Most chiefs we talked to said their calls were down as the county spent much of their time hunkered down under the 'stay-at-home' edict from Gov. Tom Wolf.
There was one notable exception, that being calls for domestic violence. That's one of the downsides to being cooped up inside.
Then a few hours later, gunshots rang out on Chester streets.
Twice actually.
The first shooting happened just after 7 o'clock. Two victims were wounded.
Then, a couple of hours later, another shooting incident. This time the victim - a 7-year-old boy - was not so lucky.
Police believe the youth was caught in a drive-by shooting, struck by a stray bullet.
Shot in the face, he died at the scene.
