AUBURN, Ala. (AP) — Police in Alabama are investigating a shooting at a nightclub that left three people dead.
WSFA reports that the shooting happened at about 2 a.m. Saturday at a club in Auburn.
Shots were still being fired when police arrived. Police investigators told the station that three men ages 25, 29, and 43 were found dead at the scene. All of the victims were from Auburn. Police did not release their identities.
A fourth person, a 23-year-old man, was taken to East Alabama Medical Center, and is expected to recover.

I’m surprised that the shooting of only three people, as common as it is these days, still merits a headline.
I’m reminded of a story I saw once on 60 Minutes regarding government corruption in Nigeria. It was so pervasive at one time that someone stealing $1 million from the government wasn’t even remarkable enough to merit a mention in the news. You had to steal $10 million or more for the story to be considered newsworthy.
So it’s becoming with shootings.
From USAcarry:
“We have found no Alabama state law that prohibits carrying a concealed weapons in a establishment that serves alcohol. Click here to view a discussion about carrying a concealed weapon in establishments that serve alcohol in our Alabama Firearms Forums.”
Yup, guns and booze. That’s nothing to be concerned about.
Obviously they were fighting over that last toothless babe left in the bar at 2AM and most likely their cousin s/
In the bigger picture, this is definitive proof that guns in bars is an awesome idea.
Obviously nothing could go wrong that wouldn’t happen elsewhere, like church for instance.
Coincidentally, the name of the nightclub is, Popping Caps.
Oh great! Now it’s deaths / day. At least it’s still in the single digits/shooting.
I just don’t understand why so many people think that guns are a solution to disagreements.
Where would they get such an idea?
