Supposedly a murder suicide. Rumorville is that Jovan Belcher murdered his girlfriend and then went to the KC facility and committed suicide.
Sick bastard deserved to die, but what did she do to deserve that fate? Date an *******?
Jesus, Wikipedia doesn't waste any time:
Jovan Allen Belcher (July 24, 1987 – December 1, 2012[1]) was an American football linebacker with the Kansas City Chiefs of the National Football League. He played collegiately with the Maine Black Bears. He played defensive end during his junior and senior years, after switching to the position from outside linebacker where he played as sophomore and freshman.

He has to be the most selfish SOB in history. Screwed up his life and decided to ruin everyone elses day.
Wow, what a tragedy. Things in KC go from bad to worse.
Reports say Chiefs coaches confronted Belcher in the parking lot before he put the gun to his head and committed suicide.
Dear Lord that is tragic.
Wonder if Jeron McMillian knew him very well.

I thought the same thing.
Strictly from a football standpoint, the Chiefs have hit absolute rock bottom as an organization after this. The Packers rock bottom was in 1986 with the Mossy Cade and James Lofton rape/alleged rape scandals. This thing that happened today is even worse than the Pack's situation in '86.
Why take your own life? Why, why, why take someone elses first? I don't get it, I'll never get it. Plenty of caring people that are hoping for an opportunity to talk to people who've reached the end of their rope.

Just got off phone w/the KCPD. Spokesman said PD the girl's mother called them, her daughter had been shot by her "on-again, off-again bf".

That call was at 7:50 CT. Police called to Arrowhead at 8:10. They found Chiefs staffers, and the player w/a gun to his head in parking lot.

... As the officer got out of his car, he heard a gunshot. Player was taken to local hospital, pronounced dead.

Yep. While suicide is so hard to fathem, I at least get that to a point. I will never ever understand taking someone else life then your own. So incredibly senseless.
unreal, sad and sickening.
hope the kid has a good home to go to.
those coaches and team have to try to play football now?
merry frickin xmas.

Uggh .
He shot and killed his GF right in front of the girl's mother. He then went to the Chiefs practice facility to thank Crennel and Pioli, then killed himself
Rational thought never entered the equation. It's mental illness and the guy's head was messed up in a bad way. It's a sad thing all around.quote:Originally posted by Goalline:

Trenni Kusnierek @trenni Jovan Belcher is the 3rd #NFL player to commit suicide in the last 8 months. Junior Seau and OJ Murdock were the other two. Tragic trend.
You can add Dave Duerson to that list...indeed a tragic trend...

This is exactly right. Depression is a serious illness. Thoughts and prayers to the Chiefs organization and all the families involved.
ProFootballTalk @ProFootballTalk Chiefs announce tomorrow's game against Panthers will be played at regularly scheduled time.
That will be a weird scene...

awful news....especially with a 3 month old child...unreal.
Completely nonsensical move
Feel bad for the family and those left behind and the little one. That poor kid has an uphill climb in life.
There are so many resources available to help people in distress. What a shame.

So uhh... doubtful on the injury report then? (hey, he's a murderer, I'll maintain it's ok to make a joke)
The family and friends of the victim as well as other not heartless human beings might not agree with that.
Found this from another site:
quote:"Belcher, who was a strong student in high school and college, graduated from Maine with a degree in child development and family relations"
