OT - Auburn Shootings
Very sad news to pass along. There was a shooting at Auburn tonight. It is very heavily rumored that 2-3 people are dead and also rumored that football players are involved although there has not been an offical update.
Football players or not, this is just so sad for their university. If your into praying, please say one for their community and for the victims' friends and family.

He seems to be a good source for updates
An unofficial report from the Auburn Plainsman, the campus newspaper from Auburn University, has said that former Tigers Ed Christian and LaDarius Phillips have died while former Calhoun County standout and current Auburn Tiger Eric Mack was wounded by a gunshot. No official releases have named the victims or the suspect. Mack is allegedly in critical condition.
Thanks for the reddit link. It provides more details than the news stories right now.
My thoughts and prayers go out to these young men's families and friends and the whole Auburn community.
always tragic, hopefully noone else is injured. thoughts to the families.
Very sad news to wake up to this morning. Hopefully those responsible are apprehended
My thoughts are with the families of the victims as well as the Auburn community. Absolutely senseless and very sad.
Guns at parties...what is THAT about????
Here's an article with a bit more information from a witness:
http://www.ajc.com/news/auburn-shooting-witness-went-1455464.html
I read the account on the link from the students who live in the complex. What a terrible tragedy. It is very sad that someone would pull a gun in a fistfight about a girl. Some friendly advice, (as if anyone should need to hear it) to any college student, you see a gun, leave. Now. It doesn't matter if things are peachy. It's just not worth it b/c some yahoo with a concealed weapon permit may lose it. So so sad.
I bet the gun had the serial numbers scratched off too.
That's really not the point he was making. The point is, whether or not he has a permit, if he has a gun, you should bolt. Even a guy with a concealed weapons permit can lose it.
Sure, but the advice to leave when guns are present would still be just as relevant without the baseless speculation as to whether or not he had a permit. Also, if he had a permit and was under the influence of drugs or alcohol, he was probably already in violation of the terms of the permit.
Exactly. Guns at parties= A quick exit for me.
Of course it all depends on the situation. People brandishing or showing off guns or carrying while intoxicated is definitely a concern. On the other hand, I live in Idaho and just about everybody is armed, so I am not alarmed to see people carrying in a variety of everyday situations.
Yeah I definitely disgaree. If anything, adding another gun to a volatile situation would make it worse (I believe)
Prayers go out to for the kids and their families.
"The scars of life and death are worn by those who survive." Pray for the families.
Am I a bad person if I immediately thought of how this would affect their recruiting?
Yes you are.
as the comment section for the CNN story.
You should read the comments on Tallahassee's CBS affiliate's (WCTV) comment section. A story about hunger in SE Asia gets turned into an argument on whether it's because of blacks or whites.
Very sad and odd at the same time.
