An unnamed Kansas City Chiefs player has committed suicide at the team facility and authorities are on the scene, the police confirmed to ESPN on Saturday morning.

Local reports say police are operating with the belief the player fatally shot his girlfriend at a house before driving to Arrowhead Stadium and killing himself at around 8 a.m local time. The Associated Press reported the player's age to be 25.

"We can confirm that there was an incident at Arrowhead earlier this morning," the Chiefs said in a statement. "We are cooperating with authorities in their investigation."

There were no other injuries at the team facility, police said.

The Chiefs (1-10) were preparing to host the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.

The NFL has told the Panthers to travel as planned to Kansas City on Saturday, the Charlotte Observer has reported, citing interim general manager Brandon Beane.

Wow
 
I guess it happened right in front of Crennel and Pioli...

What an awful image that will never get replaced out of your head.
 
Game needs to be canceled...
 
610 Sports Radio in Kansas City has just been told by the Kansas City Police that Belcher is the guy

Just awful. If it get confirmed that he did this as a result of brain damage from football (no one does this in their right mind), then it could be VERY bad for the league.

I'm a huge Chiefs fan as some of you know, and I honestly don't even know how to react to this. This is just sad.
 
What a coward this guy was.

You're entitled to your opinion, but keep that one to yourself man. There's no place for that in this thread - intentionally stirring up shit in a tragic situation.
 
She must of been cheating on the guy, he must of got ahold of some dirty laundry to do something like this. No excuses though, such an cowardly act.

Shooting your girlfriend, then shooting yourself so you don't have to pay isn't coward worthy to you?
