Former Buffalo Bills star Bruce Smith joined fellow Hall of Famers Jim Kelly and Thurman Thomas, along with other Bills and Sabres alumni and owners Terry and Kim Pegula and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell in handing out groceries on East Ferry Street at the Resource Council of WNY.
They were there to volunteer in the wake of Saturday's mass shooting at the Tops Markets on Jefferson Avenue, in which a gunman killed 10 and wounded three others.
“It feels as though someone has just ripped the insides out of me. Hurts. Hurts to see the pain and the suffering that has taken place as a result of this evil act. Robbing innocent pillars in the community of their loved ones all because of the color of their skin. It’s just unimaginable and just devastating,” Smith said upon visiting the scene of the shooting.
