One dead, four wounded in Alabama shooting

One person is dead following a shooting near Auburn University in Alabama.

One person is dead and four people have been injured following a shooting at a McDonald's near Auburn University in the US state of Alabama.

Auburn Police say officers responded to the restaurant on West Magnolia Ave early on Sunday (local time) and found a 20-year-old man from Tuskegee dead from gunshot wounds.

Four other people, including an Auburn University student, were injured.

The injured included a 16-year-old victim from Opelika, who was flown to Piedmont Columbus Regional Medical Centre with serious injuries. Three additional people injured - ages 17, 19, and 21 - were transported to East Alabama Medical Centre with non-life threatening injuries.

Police say they do not believe the shooting was random and an investigation is under way.
