Stephen A. Smith has taken aim at former ESPN analyst Keith Olbermann as he goes on the attack after his controversial take on the horrifying Minnesota ICE killings this week.

Current ESPN star Smith released a follow-up video on Friday to his Wednesday take where he said the ICE officer that shot Renee Good three times in the head was 'completely justified' in his actions from a legal standpoint.

On Friday, Smith underlined his stance on the humanitarian aspect of Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, losing her life in an incident that has polarized the United States.

But OIbermann went after Smith following his midweek video, calling on his former employer to fire Smith.

'BTW speaking for a lot of people who actually built the place - it's time for ESPN to fire Stephen A. Smith,' Olbermann wrote. 'He is now damaging the brand in a way his on-air cartoon character could never approach.'

Smith did not let that comment pass on Friday after he had clarified his position on Good's death.
