Over the weekend tragedy struck when former NFL player Will Smith was shot and killed during a road rage incident.
The shooter, Cardell Hayes, got into it with Smith after confronting him following a fender bender and killed the athlete and shot Will’s wife Racquel Smith, sending her to the hospital.

While the sports world took to Twitter to share their reactions and condolences, the tragedy impacted more than just the athletic community as Kim Kardashian West was apparently friends with Racquel. Seeing as how Smith played his entire career for the New Orleans Saints — the team the reality star’s ex Reggie Bush also played for — it makes sense they might be pretty tight.
Kim tweeted out a pic taken with Racquel (above) with the following tweets:

We can’t imagine what Racquel and the couple’s two children are going through but our hearts go out to all those affected by this terrible tragedy!
