• Suspect in fatal Auburn shooting surrenders: The three-day hunt for a man charged with killing three people near Auburn University ended with the suspect walking up the steps of an Alabama courthouse and peacefully turning himself in to a U.S. Marshal waiting inside. Hours after his surrender, Desmonte Leonard was being held early Wednesday in a Montgomery jail. He’d been on the run since Saturday, when authorities said he opened fire after a fight over a woman at a pool party. Leonard, 22, is charged with three counts of capital murder and he’s accused of wounding three others. The dead included two former Auburn football players, and a current player was among the injured.

• Accusers say Sandusky employed threats and gifts: One, a foster child, said he was threatened, warned he would never see his family again if he ever told anyone what happened. Another said he stayed quiet because he didn’t want to stop getting tickets to the hottest game in town — Penn State football. That was how two of Jerry Sandusky’s accusers explained the former Penn State assistant coach’s hold over them. “He told me that if I ever told anyone that I’d never see my family again,” the former foster child said Wednesday, the third day of testimony in Sandusky’s child sexual abuse trial. Sandusky, 68, is charged with sexually abusing 10 boys over a 15-year period, accusations he has denied. Three of Sandusky’s accusers testified Wednesday, bringing to five the number of them to take the stand.

• Jets’ Tebow putting on extra weight: Tim Tebow is a bigger player now than he was before. And, it’s not just from being in the New York spotlight. The New York Jets backup quarterback says Wednesday he weighs 249 pounds — about seven to nine pounds heavier than last season. He adds that the team would like him to be at 250 to start the season. Tebow wants to be “strong enough to do anything” without compromising his speed and agility. The Jets plan to use him in various roles, including in the wildcat-style offense and on special teams as the punt protector.
