(Reuters) - A manhunt for the suspected killer of three men near Auburn University in Alabama led police and federal authorities to raid the wrong house Monday night, an FBI spokesman said on Tuesday.

Police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation were searching for Desmonte Leonard, 22, the prime suspect in Saturday's shooting in which two former Auburn University football players were killed and a current player was wounded.

Police fired tear-gas cartridges into a house in Leonard's hometown of Montgomery, about 55 miles from Auburn.

The location "turned out not to be correct," FBI spokesman Douglas Astralaga said.

Three men were killed and three were wounded in the shooting at an apartment complex near the Auburn campus. One of wounded remains in critical condition with a bullet wound to the head.

And he needs a demotion for being critically wrong twice in 24 hours.

I want to cook her a steak dinner and give her a foot massage.

Montgomery police say one of the two tips that led them to that home came from someone that said they dropped Desmonte Leonard off there.

Rule #1: Make sure you have the right goddamn house before you go busting doors in or tear gassing.

This is the problem with not going tactical early. Sure there is a risk to those assaulting but now all this time has been wasted. I blame some of it on the safety culture that we have now where we cannot let anything bad happen to anyone.
Bunch of pussys.

Think so? I figured if that was the case that it would be pretty big and common news that the manhunt is back on.

They have to first deal with the fact that every law enforcement agency you can think of was out there on live tv, shaking hands and patting themselves on the back thinking that they had the guy cornered. I knew as soon as I woke up and couldn't find shit on the news that it had to have fizzled out.

Well I doubt they were doing one potato two potato to pick a house. They went with the intel and the intel was wrong.

Emory just rolled over......

I hated how aggressive the police were during his tenure. But I was dumb and young. Looking back, he had a shitty city under relative control. Back then, everybody knew if you tangled with the MPD, you lost.

The first boots on the ground of Emory's Army would have had already cleared the house by the time anyone else had gotten there.

Well yeah, but why spend that much time and that many resource hours and not do the simple checks early on...instead of playing the Rolling Stones card?

So what the fuck was on the thermal reading and what the fuck was coughing?

Was it someone else acting as a diversion? If so dumbest motherfucker in history. Did the person in the attic just disappear? WTF?

Well now you are back to the safety culture that we live in. It has been a downward spiral ever since they outlawed lawn darts with metal tips.
