Shooting at Arrowhead- Chiefs player commits suicide
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. http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/86...-team-facility Last edited by MoreLemonPledge; 12-01-2012 at 10:32 AM.. |

I am not a Chiefs fan, but I am a resident of this fine city and this news made my heart and soul hurt for the daughter, for the young lady, her mom, him and his family. Just crushing, period.

I am not apologizing for Belcher in any way, but I can say there were a few times before my divorce to my ex-wife that had a gun been handy at the right moment, she may be dead right now. I had that kind of rage. She put me through hell.
Not making excuses just not passing judgment. |

Perhaps I quoted the wrong guy. Maybe you weren't agreeing to the parts I thought you were. DJ's idea was about as stupid as was his decision to refer to himself as DJ's Left Nut. To me, we are talking about cold-blooded murder regardless of circumstance...sure wasn't defending himself. |

Eagles fan here. We are also having a tough season but it's nothing in compared to what the Chiefs fans, players and the families of everyone involved in today's tragedy is going through. Much love sent your way.

Anyone think they have a moment of silence tomorrow?

I thought the Raiders statement was very cool. This is so much bigger than football or a rivalry.
“The Oakland Raiders are empathizing with the Chiefs organization. Our hearts are wounded by such an unimaginable tragedy in our NFL family. We will continue to pray for everyone involved.” |

A moment of silence specifically for Belcher can't happen no matter what the players want. This isn't just about them, its about the family that lost a mother/daughter/sister ect.
