Chiefs Chiefs' Player Jevon Belcher involved in murder-suicide, shoots self at Arrowhead - Page 73

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.

You know...with no priors and a good lawyer and a few spins he may have ended up getting 15-20...so really, if he decided what he did was too much for him to live with...I guess in a ****ed up way he provided some sort of justice to the victims family. It's a damn shame, no doubt, but at least he didn't shoot his mom, drive to arrowhead and then shoot up everyone else. Dude ****ed up, knew it, drove to his safe place, said his peace, and then delivered justice for his horrible act.

I truly feel awful for the team and crennel and pioli...

As for the game...they should just play it Monday, any time, and be done with it. Emotionally, we're done.

I am going to say what I always say during these cases. I wish he had just shot himself first instead of taking someone down with him.

You call a team meeting but you also play the game.

I don't see how the players would be able to stay focus & even try. So I think they are puting them at greater risk of injury if they play. Both teams are out of playoff contention they could make up the game the first sat of playoff week.

If you depend on any Panthers or Chiefs players in fantasy football, your team is done anyway.

Devastated. One of everyone's favorite teammates including one of mine. Great great great teammate. We will miss him forever

If the Chiefs would refuse to take the field, I'm betting that we would be docked multiple draft picks next year, including that top pick we currently have.

i take it that humor is the way you cope with stuff?

I hope both teams just give the most awful Pro Bowl*9,999,999,999,999 effort tomorrow. Making these coaches and players go through that experience is a pathetic move by the league.

Play the game. Players need normalcy to aid healing...

Goodell could try that, but the public outrage against him would be swift and scathing.
