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.

If that's your favorite gun and all, I think you use it for both, but yeah, something else.

He had told her cousin that he and his girlfriend weren't together, but I knew nothing of the sort. He and I never talked about personal stuff like that. So it looks like he wasn't lying.

9 times......jesus christ. That's anger and rage. That makes sense if he were drunk and on pills.

So weird in relation to all of the things we always talked about. I won't get into it. It just saddens me.

He was leading a double life it sounds like. At least in regards to his personal life and perhaps sobriety and/or addiction.

Crennel: “I wasn’t able to reach the young man”
Posted by Mike Florio on December 2, 2012, 7:42 PM EST

To cap an emotional and informative opening segment to Football Night in America, Peter King of Sports Illustrated supplied some new details regarding Saturday’s tragic events in Kansas City.

Citing a source close to law enforcement on the scene, King explained that Jovan Belcher and Chiefs G.M. Scott Pioli separately arrived at the parking lot outside the team’s facility, at approximately 8:00 a.m. local time. Pioli noticed that Belcher seemed very upset. Police say Pioli tried to calm him down.

At the same time, a Chiefs security officer saw that Belcher had a gun in his possession. The security officer called police.

During a short conversation, Belcher thanked Pioli for giving him an opportunity as an undrafted free agent from Maine in 2009. Belcher then asked Pioli to call coach Romeo Crennel and defensive coordinator Gary Gibbs so that he could thank them, too.

Crennel and Gibbs came outside, and Belcher thanked them profusely. He wasn’t willing to talk to them or to be reasoned with. Instead, he repeatedly thanked them.

“I wasn’t able able to reach the young man,” Crennel told King after the game, but Crennel declined to be specific about what Belcher had said.

Belcher then turned around, began to walk away and shot himself in the head.

You simply assumed his tacit approval. Maybe he didn't think to comment on it because he had enough to think about as well, or even notice it, hopefully.

I have a hard time believing that they would discuss playing the game, discuss not wearing a patch, discuss the events that transpired but would neglect to mention to Jamal that the team would like to leave Belcher's uniform in it's locker and tough shit if you don't like it.

Bob Dole, I have 11 firearms, and some in several different places as well.

But if you're determined to end it for everyone, why wouldn't you go with the gun you were most comfortable with? I mean, why switch?

He doesn't seem to have been acting that rationally.

Oh God. Now we've got to blame it on his addiction.

It's like a friend of mine said "If you're going to rob a bank, make sure you do it with a bag of marijuana in your pocket so you can get treatment afterwards instead of prison'.

Dropped the one at the house after the act. Got in the car, not really sure WTF you were going to do. On autopilot, went to your daily destination because there was no place else to go, meanwhile deciding that you had ****ed up so badly that there was no return. Made the decision and grabbed the weapon in your vehicle.

No clue...just tossing it out there that it's not really all that odd that there were 2 weapons involved.

Not religious at all, but I doubt he is in that direction, Dwayne.
