AUBURN, Ala. (AP) ? The police chief in the Alabama city of Auburn said early Sunday that authorities have responded to a report of multiple gunshot victims at an apartment complex, but he gave no information on the circumstances or further details.
Auburn Police Chief Tommy Dawson told the Opelika-Auburn News that police responded to a report of multiple victims Saturday night but he had no initial comment on the situation or circumstances involved or whether anyone was in custody.
The newspaper reported that emergency vehicles had converged on the University Heights apartment complex where reports indicated many students at Auburn University reside.
An Auburn police dispatcher contacted by The Associated Press said early Sunday she had no immediate information to release. Police did not immediately return repeated messages seeking comment.
John Atkinson, a spokesman for East Alabama Medical Center, told the newspaper that any information would be released later in coordination with the local coroner's office and the Auburn police department.
Vasha Hunt, a photographer with the Opelika-Auburn News, was at the apartment complex and told AP by telephone that authorities had erected a white tent there. But he said police kept numerous bystanders far back early Sunday while they investigated amid a falling rain early Sunday.
Police stood back behind yellow crime tape.
Hunt said many of those who initially gathered outside appeared to be people waiting to enter their apartments. Police also set up large lights around the scene and about a dozen police cars, ambulances and other emergency vehicles were photographed around the blocked-off entrance.
