Late last night reports came in about a shooting at an Auburn apartment complex.
It was feared some of the victims were Auburn Football players and we can now confirm that Ladarious Phillips and Ed Christian — were shot and killed, while another player, Eric Mack, remains hospitalized.
We also had details of what started the fight that lead to the fatal shootings.
Turquorius Vines, 23, said he was at the pool party Saturday evening at the University Heights apartments with one of his friends. He said he and his friend were approached by two other men who started arguing with them over a woman.
Vines said he punched one of the men, while his friend hit both of the men over the head with a bottle. Either one or both of the two men then started shooting, he said. He said his friend was shot and killed, while two others also were hit by gunfire. Vines said he had never before seen the men who he had been arguing with.
I have said this many times, but men often get into altercations over only a few things and women are normally at the root of it.
You don’t want to lose your life over something as trivial as an argument over woman.
Think before you swing or throw bottles. People don’t just fight anymore they shoot. Thoughts and prayers go out to all the victims and their families.
