[quote]A [URL="http://www.nfl.com/teams/kansascitychiefs/profile?team=KC"]Kansas City Chiefs[/URL] player died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound Saturday morning at the team's training facility, Kansas City Police Communications Supervisor Kathy Childs said.The shooting occurred at 8:10 a.m. local time at the team's facility near Arrowhead Stadium, Childs said. She said police know the name of the player, but declined to release his name since the shooting was still under investigation.
The player was also suspected in a related shooting of a young woman at a nearby resident, Kansas City Police spokesman Darin Snapp told NFL.com's Albert Breer.
"About (7:50 a.m), we got a call to a residence, in regards to a shooting, on the 5400 block of Crysler Ave," Snapp said by phone. "We arrived and the lady there informed us that her daughter had been shot by her on-again, off-again boyfriend. The young woman was taken to a local hospital, where she died a short time later.
"At about 8:10 a.m., we received a call to the Arrowhead practice facility in regards to a black male armed with a gun in the parking lot, and he matched the description of the shooting suspect," Snapp continued. "Officers arrived, saw a black man with a gun to his head, and some [URL="http://www.nfl.com/teams/kansascitychiefs/profile?team=KC"]Chiefs[/URL] employees. As the officer got out of his car, he heard a gunshot. It appeared the individual shot himself. He was transported to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead."
Snapp said the shooting occurred outside the front doors of the facility. The player's name will not be released until family is notified, Snapp said.
The [URL="http://www.nfl.com/teams/kansascitychiefs/profile?team=KC"]Chiefs[/URL] have released a statement in regard to the incident:
"We can confirm that there was an incident at Arrowhead earlier this morning. We are cooperating with authorities in their investigation."

[quote]KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- A 25-year-old Kansas City Chiefs player shot his girlfriend early Saturday, the drove to Arrowhead Stadium and turned the gun on himself as two team officials were confronting him, police said.Kansas City police Supervisor Andrea Khan would not release the name of the player involved and the condition of the two parties was not immediately known.
Police spokesman Darin Snapp said authorities received a call Saturday morning from a woman who said her daughter had been shot multiple times at a residence about five miles away from the Arrowhead complex. Snapp said a call was then received from the Chiefs' practice facility.
Upon arriving, Snapp said that police witnessed a black male in a car with a handgun to his head talking to two Chiefs officials. That's when police heard a gunshot.
Arrowhead Stadium has been lockdown since about 8 a.m.
''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.''
The season has been a massive disappointment for the Chiefs, who were expected to contend for the AFC West title. But they're just 1-10 and mired in an eight-game losing streak that has been marked by devastating injuries and fan upheaval, with constant calls the past few weeks for general manager Scott Pioli and coach Romeo Crennel to be fired.
Kansas City is scheduled to host the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.[/quote]

[QUOTE=The golden;38666200]Why do people always need to take people with them when they commit suicide?[/QUOTE]
i think it's more likely the killing made him want to commit suicide.
[QUOTE=The golden;38666200]Why do people always need to take people with them when they commit suicide?[/QUOTE]
He probably wasn't in his right mind when he shot her. He was talking to 2 team officials when the cops showed up. Once he had calmed down and realized the gravity of his situation he took his own life over spending time in prison for murder. Shit like that isn't uncommon

Too soon.
I hate to speculate over younger people's death, but roid-rage or some traumatic brain injury.

I can only imagine what the families are feeling right now. Some tragic shit right here.

I dunno if this takes balls or you need to be seriously depressed / mentally ill (I don't know), But I would absolutely be shitting it if I was forced to take my own life or have someone end it for me. I want to live as long as possible especially knowing you only have one chance of experiencing life.

I've found that it helps me find the brighter side of things that happen in my own life, and move on instead of bitching about them. Thanks, internet!
It was Jovan Belcher.
Why, Kansas, why... He was actually one of our decent starting LB
Let this be a lesson to you all
Wait til the end of the season before you kill your baby momma and leave your child an orphan
