NEW ORLEANS (AP) New Orleans police say the first officer to arrive on the scene of the shooting death of former Saints player Will Smith found a gun on the hood of a vehicle with the empty magazine removed and one round in the chamber.

The news came in an incident report released Tuesday.

Smith was killed April 9 in New Orleans. Police arrested Cardell Hayes on charges of second-degree murder.

Police said Hayes' Hummer hit Smith's Mercedes SUV from behind. They say an argument ensued, and Hayes then shot Smith and his wife.

In the report, police said the officer who arrived on the scene first found the gun on the hood of the Hummer with the empty magazine removed. One round was in the gun's chamber.
