Will Smith's wife, Racquel, was shot twice in the legs before Smith himself was shot eight times, according to the family's attorney.

The New Orleans coroner confirmed Wednesday that Smith was shot eight times -- seven in the back and once in the chest.

Coroner Jeffrey Rouse said in a statement that preliminary autopsy results revealed "seven of these wounds were penetrating in nature, with projectiles recovered and no corresponding exit wounds.

"These bullet tracks had entrance into the left upper back (1), left mid-back (2), left lower back (3), and left lateral chest wall (1). Many of these bullets perforated vital organs, including the lungs and heart.

"One of these wounds was a perforating wound, with both an entrance and an exit wound. This bullet entered the left upper back, traversed soft tissue, and exited from the right shoulder area."

Police and attorneys for both sides all agree that Smith was shot by Cardell Hayes on Saturday night after a traffic collision and a heated exchange of words between Smith and Hayes outside of their vehicles. Hayes has been booked with second-degree murder, with charges still pending.

The two sides, however, have painted different pictures about who was the aggressor in the argument.

Thomson described Hayes as being "enraged" after he violently slammed into Smith's vehicle from behind.
