Students at UNC and Auburn Killed in Shootings

The University of North Carolina student body president was found dead early Wednesday morning, while police at Auburn University are investigating a student's Tuesday murder just outside of campus. Authorities do not think the two murders are connected. Eve Carson, a senior at UNC from Athens, Ga., apparently was shot multiple times around 5 a.m. Wednesday, the Daily Tar Heel reports. Her body was left in the middle of an intersection about a mile away from her home. Police have no suspects in the case and are still looking for her blue 2005 Toyota Highlander, which they believe was stolen during the attack.

At Auburn, freshman Lauren Burk, 18, of Marietta, Ga., was found shot along a highway 5 miles north of campus around 9 p.m. Tuesday, the Auburn Plainsman reports. She was transported to a local hospital, where she was pronounced dead from a single gunshot wound. Soon after finding her body, Auburn police also discovered her car set afire back on campus. Police have interviewed several "persons of interest" but have made no arrests. Alabama Gov. Bob Riley has announced a $10,000 reward for information leading to the woman's killer.

More than 100 students attended a vigil for Burk Wednesday night, while a memorial service will be held for Carson tonight at UNC. Both schools have increased their police presence since the incidents.
