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.

maybe he killed his girlfriend and himself because Pioli made him pick up a gum wrapper.

He's still a murderer.

Yes, he is. For, what, a half hour of his life he may have snapped and became a murderer. For the rest of his life he might have been a good person especially to those who loved him. Maybe not. Maybe he was OJII. All I am saying is that his life's ending is tragic for many people out there and, although you may not feel empathy or sympathy FOR or TOWARDS him, those who loved him deserve it because they will suffer due to his actions.

No Inmem58, Belcher does deserve some backlash for this no matter what he may be going through. He still carried out the act and is a damn coward in the end.

It's callous but a bottomline thought, Pioli may resign over this shit too.

I know it's a dehumanizing thought, but I'm just saying.

I could not possibly care less about Pioli.

This is awful, what a horrible situation. I don't see how the players are going to want to play tomorrow.

This

I have absolutely zero respect for Belcher for how he decided to end things. No amount of trouble is worth someone's life or your own life. Not to mention, now his daughter will never know she had a father and mother. This is the absolute worst thing he could've done.

Right around 8:00.

Just saw a report that it happened near the front door to the facility, and that police were parking their cars when they heard the gunshot.

I'm speechless. Such a tragic thing. This sort of thing happens every day but pro athletes are on a greater stage than others...It's a sad realization.

What the **** does Jacksonville have to do with anything?
