Three Auburn police officers were shot, one killed, and an overnight manhunt for the military-veteran suspect considered armed and extremely dangerous continued Monday morning by dozens of law enforcement agencies until the suspect was caught hours later.
The man arrested was found about a mile away from where the incident unfolded late Sunday night off Wire Road in south Auburn, in what started as a police response to a call of domestic disturbance.
Veteran Auburn police officer William Buechner, on the force since April 2006, was killed.
Auburn officers Webb Sistrunk, serving since 2011, and Evan Elliott, serving less than a year on the Auburn force, were both shot and injured, but expected to recover from their injuries.
Auburn Mayor Ron Anders and Police Chief Paul Register led a Monday morning press conference praising the work of the officers and other law enforcement officials for their valiant service, and asked the community for continued prayers, both for the police involved and for the community as a whole.
Meanwhile, Lee County District Attorney Brandon Hughes said there would be no doubt that his office would seek the death penalty for the suspect if convicted.

Alabama, but there is an Auburn, California. I thought it was California at first.
Thanks. A bunch of states have a place named Auburn, including New York, Indiana, California and others.
Why do they have to identify the suspect as a military veteran?
