Chiefs' Player Jevon Belcher involved in murder-suicide, shoots self at Arrowhead

[MoreLemonPledge]

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 someone cant comprehend the difference between Belcher who has no history of anything bad, snapping due to addiction, head trauma or a crazy GF, and then killing her in a moment of blind rage to a man who spent 20 or so years molesting little boys, then I don't know what to tell you dude.

I posted yesterday that there possibly could have been a moment had a loaded gun been handy I may have shot me ex-wife. I was that irate. She put me through emotional and financial hell and showed absolutely no remorse or regret the whole time.

I have never in my life hit a women or performed any act of DV but I cannot honestly tell you had a gun been within reach a few times I wouldn't have shot her.


Its been 12 years since my divorce and I am happily remarried but I can look at those moments and think it could have happened. Its called being honest with yourself.

Makes it hard to just pass judgment as you and other have done.

I never compared what he did to Sandusky I just made the comparison that Chief players wearing t-shirts remembering Belcher would be like Penn State players wearing t-shirts remembering Sandusky or Paterno(who didn't commit a crime). The only comparison is that Sandusky and Belcher are scumbag criminals. I could have used Panthers players wearing t-shirts remembering Rae Caruth or anyone other POS player\coach.

but when you go public and start SCREENPRINTING t-shirts for remembrance and memorial to wear in public and promote as swag, while pointing to the SKY

that's what people have a problem with. Mourn the less personally, privacy of your home, locker room, funeral, etc etc. But to get on social media and look up to the sky like this dude did something heroic is completely wrong with many's ideals/beliefs

Apparantly he should be able to do that, regardless of how it may make others feel, because it's a necasary part of his healing process.

Not to mention that people have been healing for hundreds of thousands of years prior to twitter.

I have personally never felt the need to take to social media to mourn the death of a family member, but maybe I don't understand because that family member hadn't murdered someone immediately prior to their death.

Because there's already enough stupidity oozing through this thread, we really don't need anymore. If you want to be stupid, try aiming it elsewhere.

Jerry Sandusky is not dead.

Jovan Belcher is.

You don't see the difference here?

look at this way, had he not shot himself in the parking lot, and was arrested for murder, nobody would be making those t-shirts if he was alive sitting in jail.

Actually Frazod, I am just kidding...

The fact he shot her 9 times tells you he was out of his ****ing mind.

I agree. There are times when well meaning good human beings make irreversible horrific mistakes and when those situations do present themselves the best thing to do is just to grieve in private and not speak publicly about it BECAUSE there are no winners in this type of situation.

Bowe in his immaturity may mean well but his sub-conscious "narcissistic attention whoring" is bleeding everywhere

Ok, but you must realize that others will not view the actions of a murderer through the prism of your personal experience. And if you had acted on your impulse, it is likely that 12 people would've been exactly that judgemental, and they would'be been right to be.

What should people do? Post that "gee this was an awful thing, but He was 75% good, so that's a wash?" When you do the ultimate crime you sort of forfeit that weighing process. imo.

And the first part of your post, blaming this on addiction (to what?) is just ridiculous. That's an excuse for drug crimes, but not murder.
