UPDATE: One person killed after gunfire exchange with police at Auburn home<\/strong><\/p>\n

One person was found dead inside an Auburn home where police officers encountered gunshots and returned fire during an incident Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n

The Auburn Police Department said officers responded to 12 Wheeler St. at 11:20 a.m. after neighbors called in a complaint about shots being fired.<\/p>\n

“Upon arriving on Wheeler (Street), officers were met with gunfire that appeared to be coming from the residence,” the APD said in a press release. “Officers were forced to return fire as they were establishing a perimeter around the location.”<\/p>\n

A massive law enforcement response then followed, with police attempting to establish contact with anyone inside the residence, which is part of a two-unit duplex. Several hours later, police entered the home.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nSpringfield, MA Buyback Yielded Whopping 38 Guns<\/strong><\/p>\n

By Tom Knighton
\nGun buybacks are a joke.<\/p>\n

First, they don\u2019t take guns out of criminal hands for the most part. Most who show up are people looking to get rid of a gun who don\u2019t know how else to sell one. Others are people looking to take advantage of the \u201cno questions asked\u201d policy to drop guns used in crimes and pick up a few bucks more than dumping them in a river.<\/p>\n

Then there\u2019s the fact that so many of them seem poorly attended when you consider a community\u2019s size.<\/p>\n

Take this one in Springfield, Massachusetts.<\/p>\n

Saturday\u2019s gun buy-back event yielded 38 firearms turned into police.<\/p>\n

The event, held at the Raymond M. Sullivan Safety Complex, offered members of the public a $50 Big Y Gift Card for every turned in firearm. The Springfield Police Department partnered with the Hampden County Sheriff\u2019s Department and Springfield City Councilors Melvin Edwards and Jesse Lederman to host the event.<\/p>\n

Now, the police will look and see if any were used in criminal acts, which won\u2019t matter because they don\u2019t have a name to put with the gun in the first place.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
