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.

Police confirmed it was a 25 year old male. Jovan Belcher is/was 25.

Welp, I guess the Chiefs are drafting Manti Te'o with the 1st overall pick now.

If it is Javon Belcher and his girlfriend, they're leaving behind a 2.5 month old baby. All I can do is shake my head.

Good grief.

What an asshole. This is such a break with reality..... Wonder if he was under a shrinks care? The steriods speculation will begin soon. The autopsy will confirm or clear that as a reason.

Gosh, maybe these guys are human with feelings after all. I can't imagine that someone feeling good about themselves, their job, and their life would resort to this. Even if he was having bad relationship issues.

This is horrible. Who knows what goes through a person's mind?

I heard Pioli and Crennel were in the parking lot trying to calm him down and then he shot himself in front of them.
