Turquorius Vines, 23, said he was at the pool party Saturday evening at the University Heights apartments with one of his friends. He said he and his friend were approached by two other men who started arguing with them over a woman.

Vines said he punched one of the men, while his friend hit both of the men over the head with a bottle. Either one or both of the two men then started shooting, he said. He said his friend was shot and killed, while two others also were hit by gunfire. Vines said he had never before seen the men who he had been arguing with.

"It's like I lost a lung," Vines said of his friend. "I don't know how I'm going to survive this."

Several emergency vehicles had converged overnight around the University Heights apartment complex where reports indicated a number of students who attend Auburn University typically reside. The building was swathed in yellow police tape.

8. ...at a pool party. It's a safe bet that alcohol was involved.

Maybe more than that.

[PavePusher]

11. Sounds like Vines and his friend were the physical agressors.....

and the shooter was responding to a lethal threat. (Yes, hitting people in the head with bottles can be lethal, as well as the resulting broken glass parts.)

But the story/evidence is still pretty sketchy at this point, it may well have occured rather differently.

12. More fun with guns - when will the carnage stop? As the country trends "Blue" thanks to demographics

more sensible gun regulations are coming: probably in the next forty years or so this silly fetish with handguns we allow gumps to indulge in will come to an end. In the meantime, we'll keep getting stories like this, daily.

14. Get rid of the guns

The sooner we have an outright ban on guns, the safer we will be.

[slackmaster]

16. LOL @"outright ban on guns"

No doubt you would make exceptions for guns in the hands of certain government employees.

Two arrested, one at large in Alabama shooting deaths

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama | Mon Jun 11, 2012 7:04pm EDT

(Reuters) - Police have arrested two men in connection with Saturday night's shootings in Auburn, Alabama, that killed three men and wounded three others, but the prime suspect remained at large despite a manhunt by state, local and federal authorities, officials said on Monday.

The shootings followed an argument at a pool party and killed two former members of the Auburn University football team and wounded a current member of the team.

The FBI, U.S. marshals, state troopers and police from Auburn and Montgomery launched a manhunt for the prime suspect, Desmonte Leonard, 22, who has been charged with three counts of capital murder.

The two men under arrest, Gabriel Thomas, 41, and Jeremy Thomas, 18, were charged with hindering prosecution. Police in Montgomery, where they were arrested, said they had yet to determine if the two men are related.
