My friend is a cop he said Belcher shot his girlfriend and then shot himself in front of some coaches

It just hit the scroll on NFLN.

Busy but seeing it was Belcher

Police: Chiefs player kills girlfriend then kills self

54th Street and Chrysler Avenue
KANSAS CITY, MO (KCTV) -
Police are investigating two deadly shootings Saturday morning that they said are related.

The shootings involve a Chiefs player and his girlfriend.

The first shooting was reported about 8 a.m. at a home near 54th Street and Chrysler Avenue. The second shooting was reported a short time later at a Chiefs practice facility located on the Arrowhead facility.

Officials said the Chiefs player shot and killed his girlfriend and then drove to the practice facility where he shot and killed himself.

It's unknown if people were at Arrowhead or any of its surrounding facilities at the time.

I feel sick

Wow.

I can't even believe this.

Stunned.

Belcher already getting the "was" treatment on Wikipedia

how much did belcher play?

No confirmation on who the player was yet?

Haven't seen anything concrete.

People are saying Belcher. (?)

THIS! There is no situation or combination of stress and job that would lead a sane person to commit murder/suicide.

National news picking this up. ESPN has joined in, yet to see confirmation it was Belcher.

Aidan is that a serious question you idiot???? He was a starting MLB along with DJ.

No Confirmaton but people reporting it was Belcher.

:spock:

Don't know this person and don't know if true, but if so it's just heart-breaking

If it is Javon Belcher and his girlfriend, they're leaving behind a 2.5 month old baby. All I can do is shake my head.

Damn! Sad to hear this.

The game was never relevant, this just makes it even less relevant. The family of those involved are in my prayers..

Ok, isn't Arrowhead always locked down?

Sorry.

Based on the Victim of the first shooting I'd guess...

JFC

Yeah no shit. Maybe this will open the door to what the hell is really going on behind closed gates at 1 Arrowhead Drive

Very selfish...:shake:

I was really hoping this would be a "white substance" thread

Chief Wildcat is a huge chiefs fan, knows alot about chiefs on twitter.

Police confirmed it was a 25 year old male. Jovan Belcher is/was 25.

Welp, I guess the Chiefs are drafting Manti Te'o with the 1st overall pick now.

Good grief.

What an asshole. This is such a break with reality..... Wonder if he was under a shrinks care? The steriods speculation will begin soon. The autopsy will confirm or clear that as a reason.

According to the Police Chief in KC, the player shot himself in front of "a couple coaches" and police

Holy crap. I hope everyone who witnessed that is OK. Jeez.

RIP jovan buddy. You were a good player and whatever ails you is no more

SOC has tweeted that it was Belcher. Not sure how I feel about that without confirmation.

Gosh, maybe these guys are human with feelings after all. I can't imagine that someone feeling good about themselves, their job, and their life would resort to this. Even if he was having bad relationship issues.

This is horrible. Who knows what goes through a person's mind?

I heard Pioli and Crennel were in the parking lot trying to calm him down and then he shot himself in front of them.

Chief LB Jovian Belcher was involved in a shooting involving at least one other person outside the team's facility today, source said..

Jesus...what a nightmare

Wow Parkins is saying there were coaches in the parking lot trying to talk him out of it

Seriously?

That's the first "confirmation" from a legit media outlet.

News conference at 10 on KCTV 5

I thought this season was bad.

This is just ...

Total gut-punch.

I doubt that's possible...

It will be interesting to hear what caused this.

Some racist has already changed Belchers wikipedia.
Posted via Mobile Device

wikipedia is already saying it was Belcher

Sickening. Makes the shitty season we've had look irrelevant. Really sad.

I don't know if there was a banner or anything planned for this weekend, but it should be cancelled. This is not the time for that.

The game tomorrow at Arrowhead should be cancelled/postponed!

My sources say it was Belcher.

Question,

Aren't players a bit more tightly knit group of people? Especially the "starters". I guess people are never used to thinking about what other people say and think people are joking when they say "oh I would be better off dead".

I can see a practice squad person or someone who doesn't hang around with people slipping through the cracks and no one seeing or talking to them and this could happen a bit easier. I guess it is hard to fathom something like this with no signs or red flags or anything that might have popped up.

Perhaps I am naive

"Pray for our chiefs and their families..."

Unbelievable.

Madness.

Wow

The emerging story is that he was confronted in the parking lot by "some coaches" where he put a gun to his head.

Also seeing that the Chiefs/Panthers are in discussions about tomorrow's game status.

Bill Reiter ‏@foxsportsreiter
RT @TheBigLead Rumors say the Chiefs player killed himself in front of Romeo/Pioli. NO confirmation on any of that yet http://is.gd/zk0eyQ

41 finally picks up the story, shows a feed from the stadium and it's just a bunch of cops standing around laughing.

ugh. Amazingly, only scrolls on news channels.

confirmed. Jovan Belcher.

Jesus Christ.

That's ****ed up

Remember Junior Seau

The lack of live local news coverage really shows how low the Chiefs have fallen.

****

Livestream working for me...

http://www.kctv5.com/category/221126...ews-livestream

KCTV5 was literally playing a fire Pioli parody xmas carol when they broke in with the story, then promptly went to cartoons.

Jimmy Traina ‏@JimmyTraina

Brutal. RT @KBurkhardtSNY As if this KC situation isnt bad enough RT @MikeGarafolo: Jovan Belcher just had a baby. Ugh.

I still dont understand how this happens...i know how this can effect people

ughhhh

You can't commemorate this guy tomorrow either...he's a murderer

Or that they want to be very sure they have the correct details before they break into programming. I applaud them not going all "TMZ" and not reporting Tweets or FB updates.

So far CH 5 has nothing on....except a zoo show

There was more local coverage when Don Harmon the weatherman offed himself

The right 53!

WTF dude? He doesn't deserve a RIP.

The best information we have right now is that Jevon murdered his GF and then drove to practice and committed suicide in front of coaches. Inflicting insurmountable pain on the GF's family, created horrible memories that the coaches will never forget. And lastly but not least a 2.5 month old baby that will grow up with this tragedy.

Why did he have to take someone with him?

unbelievable

prays to family teammates and friends

Wow.

In complete shock.

they had better not or say win this one for Jevon. Surely they are not that stupid.

Just cancel the damn game. Neither team is going to the playoffs and there is no reason to try to play this game.
