KC Chiefs' Player Commits Murder-Suicide
Man, this is heartbreaking. Unconfirmed reports say LB Jovan Belcher killed his girlfriend, drove to the Chiefs facility and in front of Crennel shot himself to death

Re: KC Chiefs' Player Commits Murder-Suicide
It's unconfirmed, and I can't stress that enough, that he came in to the facility distraught. Crennel and Pioli were there. He shot himself in front of them

Re: KC Chiefs' Player Commits Murder-Suicide
In any case, just a horribly tragic situation.

Re: KC Chiefs' Player Commits Murder-Suicide
WOW! That's the last thing the poor chiefs need. The saddest part is that today was his birthday and leave an infant child behind. Very Tragic news.

Re: KC Chiefs' Player Commits Murder-Suicide
I hadn't heard of anything that dramatic before. Except in the Last Boyscout. Can't believe he has a child though, that is heartbreaking for the child. As far as the player, I don't have much sympathy for a guy who kills someone and then themselves. Petty selfish act.

Re: KC Chiefs' Player Commits Murder-Suicide
That's absolutely horrible. Two people's lives gone for no reason. My heart goes out to their families and to Crennel and Pioli (if they indeed witnessed this).

Re: KC Chiefs' Player Commits Murder-Suicide
According to this, not only did Crennel and Pioli witness the suicide, but the girl's mother witness the murder.

Re: KC Chiefs' Player Commits Murder-Suicide
Wow. I cannot believe what I'm hearing. Just plan shock. There must be something wrong with that franchise if a player wants to kill himself in front of his HC and GM. Didn't someones obituary a few weeks ago read "died because of watching the chiefs play"?
this is just crazy and very very saddening to hear..

Re: KC Chiefs' Player Commits Murder-Suicide
@JasonLaCanfora: KCPD say the player thanked both men before taking his life, and that Pioli and Crennel did not feel threatened
