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.

I must have missed the Pioli pile on for him not actually saving Belcher's life.

Seriously, what the ****?

Okay. He's a good person. That means we keep him as GM?

Only you would turn this into something that could possibly blame the SOC.

This had nothing, absolutely nothing to do with that.

The Chiefs players weren't getting support because they were 1-10. No team gets support when they are 1-10.

This isn't new. The SOC wasn't singling out Belcher, they weren't singling out anyone but Cassel and administration of this team.

Not one person who advocated for change with this team should feel responsible for this. Despite what this complete piece of garbage of a human being tries to spin on this thread.

I think this is going to big a huge wake up call to the local media haters and many fans.

This has nothing to do with the Chiefs other than they were the employer of a disturbed employee~

So tragic. Just completely shocked right now.

Prayers to those guys as well in dealing with this tragedy.

Let's not forget about Jovan's mother. She witnessed the shooting on Crysler, according to reports.

Friends, family and teammates are going to have a tough enough time with this.

Actually witnessing it?

You're right, they'll never be the same.

Player talked with Pioli, Crennel & heard police drive up. He walked away from them. KCPD: "A couple seconds later, they heard the gunshot."

this may be the wrong time to say this but hopefully this will force the NFL to start paying much more attention to player mental health. not saying that playing football caused this at all, but maybe an untreated mental health issue did.

How about YOU ignore this place? Nobody ****ing likes you here, and for good reason. Go find one of the other shitty Chiefs boards to shit on.

I'll bet you Barry would take you into his fold. You're just the kind of reeruned moron he loves.
