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

Auburn Police say in a statement that officers responded to the restaurant on West Magnolia Avenue just before 2:30 am Sunday and found a 20-year-old man from Tuskegee dead from gunshot wounds.

Police say 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 Center with serious injuries. Three additional people injured – ages 17, 19, and 21 – were transported to East Alabama Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries.
