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.

It happened because of Jovan Belcher and no one else, the finger pointing isnt necessary.

I feel the same and acting like the Chiefs are somehow responsible or covering something up is way out of line.

I'm not going to call any of these guys heroes. But I'm also going to be very careful about accusing anyone of anything that would even hint at the idea that they were trying to use this for public gain, unless I was convinced it was true.

Clark didn't have a choice to be silent. As an owner, he has a duty to console his team, his staff, and his fans. He was right to say something quickly.

So maybe they are both out with Mom home sitting. Neirher shows up on time as planned. When Belcher returns home he has confrontation with Mother and GF who he blames for not being home on time? Perhaps?

Nevermind that he did not come home at all.

And if he knew were she lives and her roomates had some comfort level with him then this likely was not the first time.

I'm merely passing on what was said on the radio today. All of this came straight from the police report.

But even if management knew things werent quite right, what could they actually do about it? assuming he wasnt making obvious threatening statements to them or showing up at practice jacked up etc.

Their rights only extend so far, and surely no one guessed it could come to this.

Legally, I don't think there was much they could do. Liability wise, I don't think there would be much they would want or be wise to do.
