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.

Seriously? No posts for a week, but something tragic happens and you rush to the forum and you've got 9 posts already in this thread. Just

and go away already.

You don't have to cancel the game. Just push it to Week 17 Thursday night. After the final MNF game, just before the wildcard weekend.

Just move the order.

I'm not seeing any yellow tape, officers, crime scene investigators, etc. in the lot.

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. Does anyone know what time this happened?

The shock of this brings back the news of Joe Delany untiemly death - except he was a true hero saving the drowning boys. What a terrible thing this is . . .

crennel and pioli have a lot of guts/balls if its true they met face to face after he already killed someone

thats a huge risk, essentially their own lives and that takes a lot of something.

Yeah the NFL didn't even cancel after 9/11. The Chiefs should forfeit the game though

The advise to the families and those who witness a suicide is that you should just continue on with their lives as normally as possible.

You're a ****ing idiot. You have no clue what the ****ing guy was going through. It's more then likely beyond your assumptions. Just shut the **** up.

Shameful to think there would be any type of tribute.

Good point, if they knew he had killed his wife already.
