HAPPENING NOW.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — An Alabama mayor says that authorities are in a "waiting game" while they surround a house where they believe a suspect in fatal shootings near Auburn University is hiding.
Montgomery Mayor Todd Strange told reporters Monday night that authorities were using tear gas to try and flush out the suspect.
Strange said that authorities received two separate tips that someone who looked like suspect Desmonte Leonard was in the area.
Dozens of law enforcement vehicles surrounded the house.
Police spokeswoman Regina Duckett said it appears there is only one person in the home, and tear gas did not flush him out. Authorities were able to hear coughing and movement in the house after the tear gas was used.
