Kansas City Chief's player commits suicide

[Brando19]

Apparantly a Chiefs player killed his girlfriend at their home and then commited suicide at the Chiefs practice facility. They're not releasing names at this time, but they've called a player meeting to address the situation. Very sad situation.

TMZ is reporting it's linebacker Jovan Belcher, but police haven't confirmed.

Tragedy and, yes, very sad.

Sad for the girl that died and the people that survived but the asshole that did this should burn in Hell.

Panthers have been told to travel for game. Holy crap that's going to be tough for the Chiefs.

A woman clubbed her two year old to death the other day, triple-bagged him, tossed him in the dumpster, and then told police that he was abducted from the playground. Five people were shot outside a nightclub, the other night and they brought the one guy's head into the ER in a bucket. And that's just a part of the action. People get killed all the time; so what if it's a bastard NFL player?

I wonder what caused him to do this though? There has to be a back story. Either way it is a horrible act and I feel bad for all parties involved. I wouldn't go as far as saying "bastard NFL player," but people are dying everyday and they barely make the news.

"The description matched the suspect description from that other address. We kind of knew what we were dealing with," Snapp said. The player was "holding a gun to his head" as he stood in front of the front doors of the practice facility. "And there were Pioli and Crennel and another coach or employee was standing outside and appeared to be talking to him. It appeared they were talking to the suspect," Snapp said. "The suspect began to walk in the opposite direction of the coaches and the officers and that's when they heard the gunshot. It appears he took his own life."

Snapp described the girlfriend as in her early 20s and that she and the player had a child together. He said the woman's mother told police they had recently been arguing.

It appears from this and other articles, that he went to the practice facility to thank the coaches for all they had done for him, and pulled the trigger when the police showed up. He also orphaned his child with the shootings.

Not sure how the Chiefs play a football game tomorrow under these circumstances, but all reports are that they will.

Kansas City Chiefs' Jovan Belcher kills girlfriend, then self: Police

When you say 'world', do you mean America or the whole fracking world or, lastly, the world sans America?

A lot of killing going on; yet some places/countries have more killings than other. Where I live there's an average of app. 47 murders per year (5,3 mill. people) the last 10 years and has been declining steadily.

red, you got stats for murders per year in America? And what's the development?

So they should pass on without notice? How about agate type listings in the Garbage Can?

No, but the breathlessness of it gets to me. As thought KC should come to a halt because an NFL player killed someone and offed himself.
