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.. |

This is extremely unlikely.

Again, it does not take away the horrible nature of the crime he committed but there really should be compassion for both sides in this.

I'm obviously not a fan of Crennel or Pioli as far as their jobs go, but man, I feel bad for them right now.
I've witnessed one death, it was a random motorcycle accident and even that affected me pretty hard. But a suicide? That's just a whole new level. This is spooky to me because last night I was looking up stuff about him on Google because I never really knew much about where he came from. Sad, sad day in KC. |

For the players, I worry more about injury if they find themselves not going 100 percent because their hearts and emotions are not into the game.
As for the atmosphere, I expect an even more empty Arrowhead. |

It's going to be an emotional game, that's for certain. It'll be interesting to see.

I've typed out four different long responses to how I feel about all of this, and decided it just wasn't worth it.
I'll just say that I have exactly zero time or patience for someone that chooses to murder then take their own life. |

This could be, but it's just such a strange, unsettling situation that I could see many not wanting to be there.

Probably because he was undrafted.
