Loaded gun found inside slain football player’s car

A fully-loaded 9 mm handgun was found inside slain NFL player Will Smith’s car during a search conducted by police this morning, the New Orleans police said today.

A fully-loaded revolver was also found inside the suspected gunman’s car, police said.

However, said no bullet casings were found inside either vehicle and there was no ballistic evidence to show that either weapon was fired during the incident.

Smith was shot several times Saturday night and declared dead at the scene and his wife was also injured. A .45 caliber handgun was recovered on the scene that the suspect allegedly used in the shooting.

Two other people, a man and woman, were in the car with Smith at the time of the incident. They were not injured. It was not clear who owned the 9 mm gun.

The lawyer for the suspected gunman said Sunday that his client was not the only one with a gun. He also said that his client and others felt threatened, although it was not clear by whom.
