=== Suspect in Auburn shooting turns himself in ===
 
 Montgomery,  AL  (Sports Network) - The  suspect in the shooting deaths of two
 former  Auburn  football  players  over  the  weekend  turned  himself  in  to
 authorities Tuesday night.
 
 Desmonte  D.  Leonard, 22, is  accused of shooting  six people near the Auburn
 campus on Saturday night, killing three.
 
 Auburn  Police  Chief Tommy Dawson  said Leonard, through his attorney, turned
 himself  in  around 8  p.m.  local  time  to  Montgomery County  Sheriff  D.T.
 Marshall.
 
 Dawson said Leonard is charged with three counts of capital murder, two counts
 of  first-degree assault.  Dawson added that Leonard will be held without bond
 in the Montgomery County jail.
 
 "It's  a  relief we have him  in custody," Dawson  said. "We can wrap up loose
 ends  and  proceed, but in some  sense in a case  like this there is no relief
 because  those boys aren't  coming home. I know I've said it a lot, but I mean
 it.
 
 "At  the same time, Mr. Leonard has a mama and I'm sure she's grieving just as
 well.  In a  sense, she's lost a  son. Everybody's got a mama, and mama always
 loves you."
 
 Former  players  Edward Christian and  LaDarious Phillips, both 20, were among
 the three killed in the shooting while current offensive lineman Eric Mack was
 wounded  and is  expected to fully recover. Auburn resident Demario Pitts, 20,
 died at a hospital.
 
 "I  know your  young men won't be  coming home, but hopefully this arrest will
 give  you  some closure,"  Dawson said  in a message  to the victims' parents.
 "It's  not over. We're going to continue to investigate this case. We'll never
 forget the victims in this case."
 
 On  Monday night, authorities surrounded a house where Leonard was believed to
 be  hiding. Tear  gas was  deployed  and people  in the  neighborhood in  east
 Montgomery  were  being asked  to remain in  their homes, but  at the time law
 enforcement came up empty-handed.
