Title: KC Chiefs Player Fatally Shoots Himself
Post by: Revolution on December 01, 2012, 10:25:46 AM
A Kansas City Chiefs 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 occured at 7:50 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.

Police also said another shooting off-site was linked to the shooting.

The Chiefs 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."

From what I'm hearing, it was LB Jovan Belcher, but as of now, that's just a rumor. My thoughts and prayers are with the person's family, friends, and the entire Chief organization.

If this is true, I'm not sad at all that the un-named Chief player is dead. I am sad for his family, and for the team. What a disgusting, cowardly thing to do if true.

He murdered his girlfriend and then killed himself. Murder suicide.
The shame is only that an innocent was killed.

Damn.

I don't follow football but I've heard some terrible things about injuries recently.  I was tempted to dismiss most of it as liberal/progressive attempts to undermine professional sports, but after Junior Seau's suicide it definitely doesn't look good.

He was in the injured list in2009 for a head injury too. I've sniffed around a bit into character of the girlfriend too. By all accounts they seemed a pretty loving young couple with a brand new baby and she seemed like a pretty devoted, Christian young woman from an interracial family and who was so accepted in his that it was his mother who reported the shooting and said 'my daughter has been shot'. And he killed himself after thanking his coach for everything they had done for him. Just really ****ing weird...

Everything I read so far indicates this guy was high morals, religious, donated lots of his time to charity causes.    I think you are correct.

Agreed. That was the point in my post as well. Both parties and their extended friends and family give no indication of purposeful instability and seem very well loved with an extensive and solid support network and seemed very happy and proud of the new family they just started:(

 Terrible:(

He's a U Maine graduate, and nobody and nothing to indicate he had such propensities back then.

So yeah, more than likely nothing we'll know until well after.

Prayers for all involved.

It's a way of life. No morals, no responsibilities, try to make yourself acceptable later on.

He is from West Babylon, NY.    He wasn't a kid from the hood or a thug.   He was an accomplished athlete.

I think he honestly had a head problem. Something just snapped. It's the only possible explanation I can think of...

Oh, and here's the opinion of an idiot liberal from yesterday. Never miss a good chance to make your liberal agenda anti-gun PSA.  :whatever:

And lets not forget Belcher was a starting Linebacker in the NFL. If we remove the gun, there are dozens of ways he could have killed her just physically based on the sheer size difference. Costas owes America an apology for fing up halftime.

Because he thought he had a captive audience of mind-numbed troglodytes that would haplessly allow him to slip in his political talking points like they were subliminal messages in advertisements.

Effin' idiot.  :thatsright:

I heard on the news that he shot her nine times.  There had to have been some real rage inside of him to do that.

It is possible that she was breaking up with him and that she would see him in court about alimony and child support. Or, she might have indicated she was seeing someone else.

We will probably never know what set him off. From my perspective, he is a murderer and a coward and is going straight to hell. That is what Costas should have focused on instead of political crap about guns.

I don't get murder/suicide - if you want to off yourself, just do it and leave others out of it. :thatsright:

This guy is one of the dumbest dudes I have ever read from. Has this tool box any idea who put all these black youths in "da hood," all the projects, various other shitty places, and basically forgot about them until it comes time to vote? Yeah, DUmbass, that'd be the very people you're siding with. DEMOCRATS!! Not to mention the first two to FOUND the KKK were democratic socialists.

Is one of the rules for being a democrat that thinking for yourself, and doing research is absolutely forbidden, but shooting off at the mouth with no idea what one is talking about is encouraged?!? :mental:

If not for the gun, Jovan Belcher would still be alive, but his woman would still be dead.  He shot her nine times, which to me indicates a lot of rage.  He probably would have killed her with his bare hands. imo

I was listening to the Schnidt show last night and some man called in saying that the Belcher dude terrorized his kid and eventually he had to move to FL because the guy was an animal that beat the shit out of everyone.  He said he wants to find his grave so he can piss on it.  That is some serious pissed off.
