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.

He IS a murderer and that's all that matters.

It's just unreal the people that will pull the "You don't know what he was going through at the time card".

I don't really care what he was going through at the time. I care that he murdered a woman he had a child with.

You want to RIP a murderer, be my guest.

That won't be me.

People trying to sensationalize this need to find something better to do with their day.

This.

Who gives a crap what Belcher is going through? How about the kid he left behind? What's she going to go through?

Christ, some people have some screwed-up priorities.

We don't know what happened.

Someone could have alerted them that he was on his way with a gun and they intercepted him.

I don't know what's more depressing - the team in general, what Belcher did, or everybody here ranting and raving about it.

All I know is that I can't remember the last time something associated with the Chiefs actually made me feel good.

A man breaks into your house and you shoot him whilst trying to protect your family. Is that not also murder? Murder isn't always black and white.

We have free will. We have a choice to do what we want to do. You don't have to kill anyone if you don't want to. The whole, "something made him snap, yada yada." It was him. All him. Do we make mistakes? Yes. We all do. But there are no excuses for his actions. He CHOSE to kill his girlfriend then himself. Nobody made him. The focus should be on the girl's family and child.

Nope, that's not a murder. Sorry.

As a fan I can't remember feeling any more empty than today considering the way the season has gone.
