Chiefs' Player Jevon Belcher involved in murder-suicide, shoots self at Arrowhead

[MoreLemonPledge]

No details yet. Just came across on the news.

edit: Sources say the player is Jovan Belcher. Police have yet to confirm.

An unnamed Kansas City Chiefs player has committed suicide at the team facility and authorities are on the scene, the police confirmed to ESPN on Saturday morning.

Local reports say police are operating with the belief the player fatally shot his girlfriend at a house before driving to Arrowhead Stadium and killing himself at around 8 a.m local time. The Associated Press reported the player's age to be 25.

"We can confirm that there was an incident at Arrowhead earlier this morning," the Chiefs said in a statement. "We are cooperating with authorities in their investigation."

There were no other injuries at the team facility, police said.

The Chiefs (1-10) were preparing to host the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.

The NFL has told the Panthers to travel as planned to Kansas City on Saturday, the Charlotte Observer has reported, citing interim general manager Brandon Beane.

Don't worry Steve Breaston, you don't have to play.

How can this be so difficult for people to understand?

Goodell offered to postpone the game. The Chiefs and the union decided against it.

A "business" is different than a mutli-billion dollar business with MASSIVE contractual obligations.

Chill out on this. If I felt like someone had crossed the line and I was a member of a community for a long period of time and others didn't have my back, I'd probably be apt to do the same thing.

This has been an emotional day for everyone with any ties to the Chiefs organization. And there have been an inordinate amount of dumbasses and dumbass posts on this site today. To this end, we need to cut each other a little bit of slack.

Yeah right. The first time Dane cuts anyone some slack will be the first. Luckily for him I think it's funny and I'm not going to play his game of rage checkers.

I AGREE Dane, but you are the one who asked what that "business" would do. I agree that what a business does and what a multi-billion dollar business does are two different levels. I am just pointing out that you asked what the business would do and we answered.

Not possible - Dane said it can't be done.

One of the things I have been thinking is that nobody who feels like they cant play will be required to. It may be an odd line up tomorrow coaching and playing.

You can play the game and still not make anyone do anything they don't want to.

It's not difficult to understand your point, but it's also not difficult to believe they could have pushed it back a day. The game would only be shown in KC/Carolina and Sunday ticket. I don't think you can call people dumb asses for considering a possibility since they lose a day of preparation.

It's really a stupid ****ing argument. It's one ****ing day. Why get so pissed about it?

I'd never given you shit until YOU started this back in 2009.

And I intend to finish it, especially since you never apologized for your ****ing insults.

Oh, and the fact that, as usual, you were dead ****ing wrong.

But keep flapping your trap. It just makes you even more of an easy target.

Dayton Moore started this whole thing with no Vaseline at 11:00 PM last night.

The argument works both ways, what difference does 1 day make anyway?

If I was the commish I would leave it up to the players and if they didn't want to play I would postpone it.

As I pointed out in one of these threads MLB canceled\postponed the Cardinals game when they found Darryl Kyle had died in his room.

Dane may be emotional in that he goes on like a teenager going through puberty (very capable of hurling abuse but incapable of even considering a slightly different viewpoint) but since he's been that way for years, he doesn't deserve shit in the way of "slack".
