"Three people were killed and three others wounded in a shooting during a party at an apartment complex near Auburn University, Alabama authorities said Sunday. Among the dead were two Auburn students who had been on the football team.
A manhunt was underway Sunday for suspected gunman, identified by police as Desmonte Leonard, 22, of Montgomery, Ala.
