Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher killed his girlfriend at their home, came to the stadium and shot himself fatally. Club officials attempted to stop him, but were unsuccessful.
Since now there is 2 threads on same topic.. maybe mods can merge them?
I feel so bad for both of their families... I hope they can all find some peace this Christmas and for the new year.
That's so sad. Prayers to their families and friends.
Without question thoughts go out to those left behind to pick up the pieces

But in terms of the guy....now let's see, what would the infamous Wakeup say....People die everyday, this is merely Darwinism at work
very sad..god bless

This is a complete shock to those that knew him. I never would have guessed that he'd do such a thing. He was generally a very happy guy, and always in a great mood the few times that I saw him.

I've discovered a good friend that took their own life, and it haunts me all the time. I can't imagine actually witnessing the act.
It is heartbreaking from my understanding they had a little one and that saddens my heart even more.

If he didnt have a gun, him and baby mama would still be alive?

If someone is mentally ill enough to take a life or their own.. they WILL find a way. Pretty tired of people blaming guns. Its like they say.. if guns are to blame for deaths, then forks are to blame for obesity. I was wondering how long til the politicians took this tragedy and ran with it for their own selfish reasons.

Right on Devon, Bob Costas last night damn near made me throw a brick at my tv. Reading Jason "Im a Troll" Whitlock's article during halftime about the incident.

Belcher took the cowards way out, time will erase him from history quick enough, as deserved.
Its pretty disgusting that Whitlock couldn't even wait til rigor mortis set in before shooting his mouth off about guns (yes, pun intended).
Why be shocked about Whitlock? He's a piece of shit. The gun wasn't the problem - it was his urge to do violence. He's a huge guy, she was a small woman. He could have snapped her like a twig with his bare hands.

And since some in the media are confused - the victim here was NOT, repeat NOT, a Kansas City Chief. The victim was his girlfriend, and their 3 month old orphan. The murderer was the Kansas City Chief who then decided to save everyone a lot of time and money by committing a random act of justice in the Arrowhead parking lot.
