The college football world prays for Auburn running back Brian Battie after shooting

The college football community is rallying in support of Auburn running back Brian Battie following reports that he was among the victims of a fatal shooting in Sarasota, Florida.
The tragic incident reportedly occurred early Saturday morning. Brian's brother, Tommie L. Battie IV, was pronounced dead at the scene, and four others were transported to the hospital with injuries. Unconfirmed reports suggest that Brian Battie was shot in the head and is in critical condition, though major news outlets have not yet verified this information.

The shooting took place around 3:30 am at the Tallywood Centre Plaza. There is no word yet on any arrests, and police have not released the name of a suspect or a potential motive.
