The AP is reporting that Southern Miss linebacker Martez Smith, one of three players shot outside a Hattiesburg night club Sunday morning, is paralyzed from the waist down according to a source close to the situation.

The source says that Smith's spinal cord is severed. Two teammates, Tim Green (neck) and Deddrick Jones (chest) were also hit. All are said to be in fair condition at Hattiesburg's Forrest General Hospital.

Two people were arrested in connection with the shooting, and police are looking for a third man believed to be involved.
