The Fight
Authorities said the deadly altercation began on the evening of November 8, 2008, shortly after the Alabama/LSU football game ended with a 27-21 overtime Alabama victory.

Smith allegedly got a gun from his vehicle, while Williams, an Alabama fan, retrieved a shotgun. According to police, Williams then allegedly shot and killed Smith, then turned the gun on Smith's wife, Donna, after she threatened him.al.com: Football dispute leaves 2 dead (November 10, 2008)-
