(Reuters) - Police have arrested two men in connection with Saturday night's shootings in Auburn, Alabama, that killed three men and wounded three others, but the prime suspect remained at large despite a manhunt by state, local and federal authorities, officials said on Monday.

The shootings followed an argument at a pool party and killed two former members of the Auburn University football team and wounded a current member of the team.

The FBI, U.S. marshals, state troopers and police from Auburn and Montgomery launched a manhunt for the prime suspect, Desmonte Leonard, 22, who has been charged with three counts of capital murder.

The two men under arrest, Gabriel Thomas, 41, and Jeremy Thomas, 18, were charged with hindering prosecution. Police in Montgomery, where they were arrested, said they had yet to determine if the two men are related.
