An Escambia County couple died Saturday after an argument over the Alabama/LSU football game ended in shotgun blasts, according to Conecuh County authorities.

District Attorney Tommy Chapman identified the people killed as Dennis and Donna Smith of Appleton Road near Brewton.

The shooting allegedly occurred about 7 p.m. at the home of Michael Williams near the Owassa community in Conecuh County, Chapman said.

Williams was arrested, Chapman said, and charged with two counts of murder.

Dispatchers at the Conecuh County Sheriff's Office declined to comment about the case.

Investigators said witnesses told them that Dennis Smith, an LSU fan, called Williams, a fan of the Crimson Tide, after the game Saturday evening and an argument ensued.

Officers said Donna Smith was a relative of Michael Williams' girlfriend.

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.

That sentence was a shock to me.

Tiger fans

SEC fans are stupid.

It's quite apparent that the love of this simple game of football has gone completely too far. Unfortunately, I think it's too late to reign it in.

That shark was jumped a long while back.

Sad, but true: a cleansing of the gene pool.

This is a true statement. Many people base their entire identity on football teams. It is amazing. It is also amazing how violent the game has become, even at the boys level, and people, including parents of the players, love it. I guess it is one of the last places a man can still be a man.

From the story, one death seems to be in self-defense, the other is murder... It would actually be of interest to me to see how this all plays out.......

[Dawgmatic]

Unbelievable.

From just the story, it would seem that both were self-defense. Dead Man pulled the pistol; Dead Woman retrieved the pistol. Sounds like two righteous kills to me!

Sounds like these people are flat out stupid. Unbelievable ignorance on all counts. Is that a crime? :icon_wink:

Where does it mention that the woman retrieved the pistol? "threatened" can mean a lot of things....

Was that ever any doubt.

Not really related but clear as day you could hear the entire stadium chanting F U Saban after the game on the radio.

Ever been in a gun fight? Threaten generally means an aggressive act...Dead Man's pistol close by...if she even hints at reaching for it, it's kill or be killed.

so lets see...

1. Bama wins
2. LSU fan calls Bama fan and argument ensues (LSU aggressor it appears)
3. LSU fan travels (with his woman) to Bama fan's house
4. LSU fan pulls out a pistol
5. Bama fan shoots him
6. LSU-ette threatens Bama fan who just shot LSU fan while he's still holding gun
7. Bama fan shoots her


The one question I wanna know is WHY were the LSU fans talking smack after a loss?
