3 Killed Near Auburn University

Posted: 5:39 AM Jun 11, 2012

AUBURN, Ala. (AP) -- Investigators are searching for a gunman who killed three people -- including two former Auburn University football players. The other people were wounded at a pool party near campus after several men got in a fight over a woman.
One of the wounded was shot in the head and critically hurt. Another was a current player, Eric Mack.
Police say Desmonte Leonard opened fire at the Saturday night party at an apartment complex near the university. Federal marshals and police were searching for Leonard.
Police emphasized that the shootings didn't appear to have anything to do with some of the victims being former or current players on the university's powerhouse football team.
