Shooting at Arrowhead- Chiefs player commits suicide
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. http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/86...-team-facility Last edited by MoreLemonPledge; 12-01-2012 at 10:32 AM.. |

I hope people know that the innocent girl, her family and 2 month old baby are the REAL victims. As for Javon Belcher, the man committed a murder and killed himself and there should be no tribute, only prayer. Prayers for all. Far too often the person committing the crime gets more attention than the victim, sadly. There are no excuses for his actions. Period. The only positive you can get out of this is if anyone knows anyone with anger issues or has had a past, reach out and help. You may be able to prevent something like this. Right now, the family of the girl needs support more than ever before. I think we should raise some cash for them.

The mother of the girl he shot was home, so he couldn't stay there. He probably hadn't yet crossed the bridge from killing her to deciding to kill himself yet. He had to go somewhere. Why not the complex?

On a positive note, I'm happy to report the folks on the Orange Mane are acting with a lot of class. Handing out week-long bans for some. Like!

well according to the KC Star it was Javon's mother, not the girl's mother. She was visiting.
I think everyone is confused about this, myself included. |

KCMO PD: Belcher was talking to Crennel & Pioli when he saw two officers walk up. He turned and walked 30 feet, then shot himself. |

Kudos to Crennel and Pioli if they literally walked out and confronted a guy with a gun.
They didn't have to do that. You wonder if they prevented more loss.

"Snapp said Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli, head coach Romeo Crennel and an unidentified person went out to talk to Belcher. Snapp said Belcher thanked Pioli and Crennel for the opportunity to play for the Chiefs' organization, then walked 30 or 40 feet away and fired one shot to his head as the three men looked on."
Cops: Jovan Belcher, Kansas City Chiefs player from Long Island, kills girlfriend, self sounds to me like Belcher had already made up his mind to kill himself before he even got to Arrowhead. he certainly could not have expected to talk with Romeo and Pioli once he got there. i have to wonder if they would have even tried to talk with him if they knew at the time that Belcher had just killed his girlfriend. regardless, Belcher was suicidal and if had a problem with either Romeo or Pioli, or anyone else at Arrowhead, he could have made some attempt to settle those scores right before he killed himself, so that likely had nothing at all to do with it. i think Belcher must have realized while talking to them, that all of this was going to come down on the Chiefs, and that probably helped push him even farther over the edge than he already was. i feel very sorry for JB and his family, both actual relations and amongst the Chiefs. i can't imagine where his mind was at during all this, but i think it's safe to say that for whatever reason, he had lost it. |
