“Alcohol Was Believed To Have Been A Factor”

After #1 Alabama beat #15 LSU in overtime Saturday, it would appear Dennis Smith, an LSU fan living in the heart of Alabama, called Michael Williams, an acquaintance and Crimson Tide fan. Words were exchanged. Smith and his wife decided to pay him a visit and things went downhill from there:

Soon, the Smiths arrived at Williams’ home and the men wound up in a physical altercation, officers said.

Smith retrieved a pistol from his vehicle, and threatened Williams, who armed himself with a shotgun and fired two blasts, striking and killing Dennis Smith, officers said.

Donna Smith then threatened Williams, who shot and killed the woman, they said.

Investigators said alcohol was believed to have been a factor in the killings, and the investigation was ongoing late Sunday.

Sad, but I guess not unexpected when you mix large amounts of alcohol with guns.
