I don;t know the area, so I'm just going off the comments of others. If they were decent apartments to begin with, and if there was sufficient demand, I don't understand why they would ever have started taking Section 8. I own rentals in a college town, and I never have and never will. Once you start down that road, it's a dead end. I imagine that now they will start to lose all of there "good" Auburn students, and by good, I mean students who pay their rent on time, take care of the property, and don't cause problems. Once is a coincidence. Twice isn't. But if I'm a student living there, it doesn't matter; I'm getting the hell out. And those good tenants will be replaced with more Section 8s. And yeah, I'd make the place off limits.
They weren't that nice when I went over there. They needed some updating & IMO they weren't built well at all.

What likely happened was everyone broke their lease after the first shooting or refused to renew which forced the owner to go Section 8 to make up the rent loss -- thus starting a downward spiral into slumlord status.
