This is so tragic and so senseless it’s sickening. Former New Orleans Saints player, Will Smith, along with his wife were both shot late last night In New Orleans in what was an apparent road rage incident. Smith was pronounced dead at the scene while his wife is expected to survive.

Smith, 34, was shot after exchanging words with the driver of a Hummer H2 that rear-ended his Mercedes G63 SUV, causing him to strike another vehicle, police said.

Smith exited his vehicle around 11:30 p.m. Saturday night and started arguing with the driver of the hummer.

The Hummer driver, who has not been identified but officials say is 30 years old, was apprehended after he allegedly unloaded a fusillade of bullets at Smith and his vehicle. Smith’s wife was hit multiple times in the leg. The driver and another person have been apprehended and are being questioned in the incident.

Smith won a national championship with Ohio State’s football team and was a first-round Saints draft in 2004. He led the team in sacks in 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2009, In his final year with the Saints he helped the team win its only Super Bowl title.

As you might expect there has been an outpouring of love and affection for Smith from former teammates and people around the NFL in general.

This is just so terrible. Our prayers are with the Smith family at this time. RIP.
