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.. |

Exactly. So the fact that he killed himself makes commemorative acts ok now?

Is it attention whoring, or is it the world we live in now? People more and more are sharing their lives via Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and even yes, ChiefsPlanet. Attention whore.

I'm sure this point has been made here already.. but I'll state it again just in case. WE don't have any clue what the facts are here. Since Belcher committed suicide there will be no trial and it is likely all the facts will never come to light. I understand the feeling that we shouldn't make excuses for bad behavior but we also shouldn't make snap judgments from positions of almost complete ignorance. This applies to judging the players' reactions as well.

I have yet to see one person say he didn't do something terrible. How you chose to feel about the circumstances or how you process what happened afterwards is up to you. You chose to go total piece of shit route right out the gate. I chose to wonder WTF happened that caused this. Regardless of that fact I feel he bears responsibility for his actions alive or dead. I am just not certain what that entails yet. See the difference? |

It will be interesting to see if more information comes out on all of this. The first story just seems to be a little too conveniently simple
