OT: Shooting at Chiefs facility

[Tyrian]

Reports that it was a murder-suicide by an unnamed Chiefs player (Twitter does suggest a name, but as it's not confirmed, I'll leave it out).

Extremely sad.

(Mods: I know it's off topic for the Ravens, but considering the gravity of the story, I'd put it here).

This is pretty serious so we can leave it here for now.

Very sad. Still few details. I'm at brunch in Fells Point and getting them to turn on ESPN.

I heard is MLB Jovan Belcher that killed his girlfriend, then himself

That's what I heard. His wiki page has already been updated.

That is incredibly sad. I didn't think the Chiefs season could get any worse.

The only thing on ESPN is a crawl.

Hard finding info on this.

Sad. I read he did it (suicide) in front of other players. wow

Chief LB Jovian Belcher was involved in a shooting involving at least one other person outside the team's facility today, source said...

First 'big news' to confirm it. Rumours are it was either in front of the players or in the parking lot in front of police and a couple of coaches and possibly Pioli. Very hard to get a picture yet.

According to the Chiefs forum's thread on it, Belcher had recently become a father as well. No words.

-- ESPN 980 ‏@ESPNRadio980
Word out of Kansas City is that linebacker Javon Belcher, killed his girlfriend then committed suicide in front of head coach and GM.

Twitterverse is saying Pioli and Crennel witnessed it. The whole team has to be devastated. I know teams have dealt with death before during the season but has it ever happened the day before a game?

I wonder if they were attempting to talk him down... they have to be absolutely devastated!

Prayers to the entire KC organization & families.......

NFL,com reporting a related second shooting off site.
My 1st thought (besides sadness) was "Is this a Rae Carruthers type situation?" Don't know how the Chiefs could play Carolina @ Arrowhead tomorrow and show up emotionally/mentally.

Aaron Wilson ‏@RavensInsider According to reports out of Kansas City, the player involved in the murder-suicide is linebacker Jovan Belcher. Very sad, very bizarre.

[Corey]

Jason LaConfora is reporting that it was Jovan Belcher. CBS sports is reporting that he and his girlfriend had a three month old baby. Terrible.

All I can say is "Why?"

Why do people feel the need to do this?

Even at it's worst, life is still the greatest gift in the world. I guess I'll never understand.

I hope those in KC can find some way to cope with this.

RT @Aaron_Nagler: RT @lookin2carve: Per 610 KCSP the player involved is Jovan Belcher, peace to his family.

Wow...as a new father, I could never imagine leaving my kid alone like that.

You gotta wonder what makes a person get to that point.

*smh* ...what can you do?

Besides the obvious, I feel badly for Romeo. A classy and incredibly nice man. This is going to hit him especially hard.

The league has told the Panthers to travel to KC as planned for the game tomorrow.
