Just a lot of confusion on what led to the events that occurred tonight and who all is involved. What I've heard is that this all started over a female and 3 people are dead, 2 others shot...the female in question being one of them. Not sure of the circumstances that set this all in motion.

I honestly don't even know what to say.

Sickening to hear someone has died. Makes you wanna throw up. Damn. Situations like this can't really be prevented like people would like... Scary stuff. I hope some good can come from this. Im sure it will give your players something to play for.

Some friends and I were getting ready to go out to watch the boxing match at a bar. We stopped by a friend's apartment a bit closer to the front of the complex on our way out.
We were sitting in the living room area when we heard what sounded to me like firecrackers. bang bangbangbangbang We all stopped and looked at each other. One of my friends dropped on the floor. We all went to a separate room, further back in the apartment. One of the other guys there said he heard more shots after we left the room.
We called 911, who said they already had officers on the way out. We looked out the window, where we had a pretty good view of the pool area and front of the complex. Which is where it all happened.
There were so many fricking people just fricking running the frick away from the front. I could hear someone screaming. This screaming was unlike anything I've ever heard in my life. I don't know if I heard someone screaming in pain or someone screaming in shock at seeing something. I left the room briefly. When I came back, the screaming had stopped. I don't know if that screaming was from someone who died or someone who fled. Police arrived soon after. Saw them walking around with a flashlight.
We got in the car and tried to leave, only to be told that the complex is on lockdown. We're not allowed to leave. No one is allowed in or out.
We got out and walked up to the front to see what we could see. The whole front of the complex is roped off with crime scene tape. There were ambulances, but they're gone now. There's firetrucks and shitload of police cars. Forensics showed up an hour or two ago.
My friend and I were able to get up pretty close. Saw one of the bodies. He's lying on his back, kinda sprawled out. They had a white sheet over him. He'd bled through it. I guess he was shot in his chest.
Later on, forensics walked up to the body and lifted the sheet. Saw the guys face. As I said above, it was clearly Ed Christian.
That's about all I saw. Spent a lot of time talking to people hanging around the scene.
Trying to figure out how to get out of my fricking lease. If anyone has advice, I would certainly appreciate it.
What I've pieced together
There was a group of people at the front of the complex. It was not a pool party, like everyone keeps saying. Some kind of argument started up. A fist fight broke out. Ed Christian was not one of the people fighting. He was holding one of his friends back, trying to stop the fight, when he was shot.
We're pretty sure that Ladarious Philips (sorry if I spelled his name wrong) is another casualty.
We just heard that Eric Mack, who was taken from the scene to the hospital, has since died.
That's all I know currently.

That is not a related picture. You should take that down or it will be ra'd

And it has been deleted. Did you fail to read the 10+ comments after the picture was taken? If not why don't you go back and check it out?
Edit: If you had bothered to read the comments (or if you had any idea what Auburn Heights looks like) you would know that is not a picture of the "pool party". Here are a few of the comments on the facebook page where the picture was posted:
quote:
That picture is incorrect. That is not at University Heights.

I was talking about the picture that someone posted in the earlier comments with people sitting around a pool saying that was the pool party. That picture was not taken at University Heights.
quote:
the picture Elgigante Carter posted was not from the pool party today. And it isn't. That is not the pool at University Heights.
quote:
I lived at University Heights for 4 years right by the pool and can definitely confirm that the picture Elgigante posted above is NOT University Heights.
quote:
WSFA-TV We understand now. We just pulled down the link that was posted.

Do you know what the pool looks like at University Heights? Does it look like the pool in that picture?

Saw someone post on Twitter,
Such a messed up world we live in...

Going by Vince's biography, I'd guess he doesn't know what a recently built apartment complex in Auburn looks like. Why not just chop it up to an honest mistake on numerous people looking for any information they can get? People make mistakes.

That's the pool listed on the website if it's the right complex.

Because this is how incorrect info gets spread that is why.

I really hope the witnesses don't clam up because "snitching" is wrong.
I will NEVER understand this mentality.

This news is making me sick. Everyone pray for the families involved, pray they quickly apprehend those involved.
Details do not matter, that will come out in due time.

I don't think there is any chance whoever did this will get away with it. If they have not already been arrested, I give it 12 hours max.

Thanks. It was an honest mistake.

There is a lot of info being spread right now, correct and incorrect. A lot of us don't live in Auburn and are relying on twitter posts from those near the scene to figure out what;s going on. Vince hasn't argued what he posted as being true...just relaying what he's seeing. Don't kill the messenger. A lot of shite could come out in the next couple days that refutes a bunch of what has been said tonight...we're all just scavenging to figure out what the hell is going on in our beloved town.

After the picture was taken? Wouldn't that have been sometime during daylight hours?
I have taken the picture down, it was a mistake; however, I have also posted a screenshot of what the WSFA Facebook page looked like at the time that I read the article and saw the picture in question.
As you can easily see, at the time there were no comments stating that the picture in question was not a true representation of the pool area at the Village Heights Apartment Complex located in Auburn, Alabama.

From a completely unknown Twitter source,
I assume that would be Sullen.
