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.

So sad. I wonder if this ends up being another head trauma issue ala Seau?

Cancel, no.

But the chiefs could and should forfeit it. Too much money to be lost though, Clark will trot them out there and the Chiefs PR team will tweet about Silers first NFL start since whenever.

Someone who does this is obviously not in a good place. Their survivors deserve our sympathy and empathy because not only do they have to deal with the loss of their loved one but the burden of his actions.

Don't care. If this had been my brother I wouldn't care. He's a murderer, and has left his child montherless. **** him.

Too much $$$$$$ at stake, trust me

I would assume that the players are meeting offsite and being brought in by the white vans for a team meeting.

Again, I'm so sorry. Sudden tragedy like this is so shocking and rocks you to the core when it's someone you know. Especially at this time of year. Something even more sad about tragic death during this time of year. I think of the families who will always carry this burden of their loved one's death during this time of year.

For what? A selfish person who took the life of his child's mother and then killed himself? There is no reason for a tribute.

Before I go, if the NFL forces the Chiefs to show up tomorrow, and I were the Chiefs. I'd simply take a knee and walk off the field.

It's a rumor that hasn't been confirmed, I think? That's all I can gather.

Jesus.
