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.

I agree and have seen it first hand.

Dude...may as well cancel the Kansas City Chiefs, hoss. There will be no recovering from this. An active player shot himself in front of the HC and GM. Aside from everything else, trying to wrap my head around THAT makes it more than surreal...

Those were my thoughts as well. Don't let Goodell be the marionette when real life things like this occur. Do whatever you have to to take that POS down a peg. I'm getting really tired of that bastard.

Tragic. I as much as I dislike Pioli and Crennel I WOULD NEVER wish having to go through this on anyone. Thoughts and prayers to the Belcher family and to the Chiefs family...

Thanks. If what he is reporting is true and the players don't want to play tomorrow they should postpone the game at the very least. If the NFL forces the players to play then players should not walk out on the field tomorrow.
