Gun Violence Kills 11 Nationwide 
---------------------------------


 
Three people were killed in Auburn, Alabama on Sunday after an argument
at an apartment complex turned violent. Two of the victims were former
members of the Auburn University football team. Auburn police chief
Tommy Dawson announced the deaths.

Tommy Dawson: "It's sickening that these young lives were cut short,
and, and also the shooter is such a young man. As a society, we've got
to learn the value of life again. If I could bring them back today to
their parents, I would. Fortunately, I can't do that. And to the parents
and families of these victims, I am very sorry. Please let it be known,
we are grieving with you."

In other gun violence nationwide, four people were killed in an apparent
gang-related shooting in Sacramento on Sunday and four people died when
a father in California's Fresno County killed his wife and two children
before taking his own life.
