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.

Unimaginable tragedy. Sincere condolences to all survivors... even to the Chiefs & their fans. Sorry it had to happen at Arrowhead - may the proud stadium have a short memory of this...

[Hammock Parties]

So why did Belcher bring a gun up to the team offices?

Was he gonna shoot someone?

I shudder to think of him shooting one of his teammates.

I know there won't be a dawn for the deceased, and I truly wish the best for the baby, mother, and other survivors but with the economy, the election, the Chiefs' season, and now this...

This has been a tough year.

Luz~
2013 has to be better...

Repeatedly speculate based on rumor and you're good, just as long as you say 'rumor' in the title and you're not the original source. Right Laz?

Like I said - you're a hypocritical dipshit. You've always been a hypocritical dipshit. This thread simply puts a nice little bow on it.

Granted it was a bit different, but they moved the Giants-Vikings game to Monday due to the Metrodome's roof collapsing.

yeah and Adrian was a surprise inactive and I lost my fantasy title because of that by 3...=( (I'm sorry for the OT post)

Like clay I was wondering why he had a gun at the team offices, did they know he was coming as the coaches and etc met him outside?

dude he shot someone, drove to his "family", said his peace and shot himself...he knew he was going to kill himself, hence the reason he brought the gun...he wanted to say goodbye

we can argue semantics all day but that's a pretty cut and dry story

It doesn't count as rumor-mongering if you're just passing it along, right?

Oh well, at least nobody's ever accused you of not being a hypocritical half-wit.

[Fritz88]

I keep er-reading. I can't digest it.

[NJChiefsFan]

I just assumed he was always planning on shooting himself there. I don't think the gun was meant for anyone else at the facility.

[Hammock Parties]

I don't think he was gonna kill himself until the cops showed up.

IMO, he was

he wanted to say goodbye to his "family"

it's not like he tried getting away

[Hammock Parties]

I think Jovan found out his GF was screwing some teammate and he was going to get revenge.
