I just read this on cnn.com:
Houston- Rock and roll legend Jerry Lee Lewis has been charged with the murder of former running back of the Dallas Cowboys, Emmitt Smith.
Lewis, 71, was arrested wednesday after an altercation in a Houston night club, in which Houston Police claim Lewis pulled a gun and shot Smith in the chest, critically wounding the NFL great. Smith was rushed to a near by hospital but died shortly thereafter due to complications. He was 37.
Jerry Lee Lewis (born September 29, 1935), also known by the nickname The Killer, is an American rock and roll and country music singer, songwriter, and pianist. An early pioneer of rock and roll music, Lewis was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986 and his pioneering contribution to the genre has been recognized by the Rockabilly Hall of Fame.
Smith is the first player in NFL history to have five straight seasons with over 1,400 rushing yards. Smith and Jim Brown are the only players with seven straight 10-touchdown seasons to start their career. With 1,021 yards rushing in 2001, Smith became the first player in NFL history to rush for 1,000 yards in 11 consecutive seasons and the first to post 11 1,000-yard rushing seasons in a career. He is also the NFL's all-time leader in rushing attempts with 4,409.
