UPDATED at 4:00 PM... BREAKING: AUBURN/UPDATED 5:45 A.M.: One officer killed in Auburn; two seriously injured but expected to recover; manhunt continues for armed suspect

Multiple gunshots were heard and residents were told to shelter in place as dozens of law enforcement officials descended upon Arrowhead I Mobile Home park late Sunday night off Wire Road south of Auburn.

The area was blocked off as helicopters and a massive law enforcement presence assembled into the early morning hours of Monday.

"I heard six shots, rapid-fire like it was an automatic weapon, and then there was a brief pause, maybe a second, and then three more single shots," a woman living in the mobile home park who asked to not be publicly identified told the Opelika-Auburn News.

Silence followed, "and less than five minutes later there were sirens, and they kept coming," she said.

The woman went out to talk with a neighbor next door when police officers began running up and down the streets, she said, and the residents were told they needed to shelter in place.
