OPELIKA, Ala. (AP) — The suspect in a deadly east Alabama community college shooting Wednesday walked up to reporters and photographers in a blood-stained parking lot, calmly told them he was the man police were after and was quickly arrested and charged with murder. The shooting at Southern Union Community College in Opelika killed a 63-year-old woman, wounded two more women, ages 36 and 94, and injured a 4-year-old who was hit with flying glass. About three hours later, when city officers already had left campus, a man driving a white Jeep Liberty with the same tag number police had released as the suspect's pulled into the parking lot where the shootings occurred.
