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.. |

If true, this tragedy has everything to do with him discovering he is not the baby daddy and being announced in front of his own mother visiting and seeing her so-called grandchild for the first time. Imagine the humiliation, rage, and betrayal he must have felt simultaneously in a very volatile moment and killing her in front of his own mother and then offing himself in front of his coaches say's a ton.

This is a unique situation. With the event happening at the complex. I am not sure what the right action is. The NFL telling the Panthers to go ahead and travel means little. It is a proceed until a decision is made plan I would assume~

So many conflicting reports. Do we have 100% confirmation yet whether it was Belcher's mother or her mother? I've seen both reported.

The NFL is in uncharted territory in this situation, as an active player dying just a day before his team was scheduled to play is unprecedented.

No question that this is a traumatic event for those involved, either directly or indirectly. I hope that the NFL uses this as a springboard to promote mental health to all of its players and staff. In such a competitive environment, I can imagine that it's easy to lose focus on the importance of what goes on when you go home at the end of the day.

The only thing I can think of right now is that this is eerily reminiscent of Chris Benoit 5 years ago.
