The City of Auburn released a statement on the incident, explaining that “a 20 year-old male from Tuskegee, AL was discovered deceased, suffering from apparent gunshot wounds. Additionally, four other individuals were found to be injured from the gunfire.” Three of the wounded–a 17-year-old male, 19-year-old female, and a 21-year-old male–had non-life-threatening injuries. The fourth, a 16-year-old, had “serious injuries.”

Auburn Police note that an “altercation” occurred just before the shooting, therefore they do not believe it be a random attack.
