the shooter must have been an irritated Celtic fan in a clubhouse full of Heat fans.

What is so surprising about this. Were they drinking 40oz beers and selling crack rock?

Sorry _D, did not see your post

Morning CN - no problem

Wow...

I live in central Alabama and I can tell you, this place is diehard Football.

Year round you see Crimson Tide and Auburn War Eagle shirts. This is a rivalry that is just as heated in mid June as it is in mid season...

If those 3 names are legit, those are 3 STARS, which means a tons of folks down here gonna be screaming mad.

Good lord, I really hope the shooter doesn't turn out to be white...

WTVM reported that the three deaths were confirmed by the coroner's office, adding that the two injured people were rushed to the hospital in serious condition.

The Auburn Plainsman reported that Auburn Tigers football players were among the victims in the shooting.

WSFA reported that at least 10 police and rescue vehicles remained at the scene of the shooting early Sunday, adding that a party took place at the apartment complex on Saturday night.

Malt Liquor is nasty.

First hand account

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 fucking people just fucking running the fuck 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 fucking 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.

damn america is turning into a full on war zone.

betting ring

I live here too, NE Jeff Co. And I'm an Auburn fan.

Personally, I don't give a fuck what color that sonofabitch is. Disembowel him, and hang his entrails from the light poles.

Ah hell I'm pissed now.

So, what you are saying is that all 3 dead football players are black?

Thanks Cosa, and thanks Door for posting it.

This shit is gonna hit hard. Got phone calls to make.

Indeed, small world, I live in Pinson actually.

Only reason I say I hope the shooter isn't white is the residual trayvon nonsense could flare up.

If the shooter is WHITE-all hell is gonna break loose down south
