From what I can tell its Jovan Belcher, a LB for the team. Not sure what the circumstances were surrounding his suicide/murder of his gf though. We'll hear in due time I'm sure

I can't imagine how horrible that must have been for not only his girlfriend, but for those who saw him turn the gun on himself. Life-changing. I'd never want to go to Arrowhead again if I had witnessed that.

I know they can't release names, but damn, I was REALLY WORRIED when I read this. Practically ran to the computer.. so it wasn't EB?

Sad situation. My thoughts go out to those affected.

Do NFL teams have professional counselors on their medical staffs? Seems like given the nature of the jobs and the potential for substance abuse, it would be a good thing. Not saying it could have prevented this tragedy.

"And there were Pioli and Crennel and another coach or employee was standing outside and appeared to be talking to him. It appeared they were talking to the suspect," Snapp said. "The suspect began to walk in the opposite direction of the coaches and the officers and that's when they heard the gunshot. It appears he took his own life."

The coaches told police they never felt in any danger, Snapp said.

"They said the player was actually thanking them for everything they'd done for him," he said. "They were just talking to him and he was thanking them and everything. That's when he walked away and shot himself."

Lots of debate on whether this game should go on tomorrow, being that Crennell and Pioli witnessed the suicide and it was at the stadium complex. The greater tragedy is that a 3 month old baby now has no parents.

There are reports here in the local media that Belcher was on his knees when he took his life.

These don't sound like the actions of a blood thirsty killer in the midst of a blind rage. Seems like this was something he had thought out and meditated on. It's too soon for me to put in my theory, but I have a hunch on what the motive for the girlfriend's murder is.

Dude, come on. I agree with your stance on some other subjects but this isn't the time to bring that crap up.

Did you read the part where I said "too soon"?
