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.. |

You miss the point. The game shouldn't be rescheduled to honor Belcher. It should be rescheduled out of respect for the HC and GM who witnessed the tragic event and the players who have about 24 hours to process it all.

Given his apparent anger issues back in UMaine, and the story that the argument was over his girlfriend being out late at a concert, I think its more likely that he was just an angry, evil man.

I know the media and everyone else is desperate to piece together what happened, but the report says the confrontation took place at 1am and they argued frequently... may or may not have anything to do with what happened 7 hours later.

he misinterpreted the statement. it was that Pioli and Crennel attempted to talk him out of further acts of violence (i.e. suicide)

Horrible. I hope the Chiefs organization and players do some sort of fund for the girl who no longer has her mother.

but a spontaneous shooting of passion and the following regret is quite a bit different than other suggestions. How many people have said that a criminal should just shoot himself and save society from having to deal with it? Well maybe Belcher did just that. all conjecture though ... we will probably never really know.
