An argument Tuesday between former NFL defensive lineman Shaun Smith and his Twitter followers took a startling turn.
The argument started when Smith, who played in parts of nine seasons in the NFL, tweeted about one of his former teams, the Kansas City Chiefs, and their upcoming playoff matchup with the Houston Texans.
Not everyone on Twitter agreed with Smith’s assessment of the wild-card round clash, and the former defensive lineman responded to his critics with a photo of a gun.
Shaun Smith is having a bad day…
He made his account private

Smith later deleted the tweet and made his account private.
