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

Local reports say the police are operating with the belief the player fatally shot his girlfriend at a house before driving to Arrowhead Stadium and killing himself.

"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."

Whomever it is that is an incredibly sad situation. Prayers to his family, the girlfriends family, and the Chiefs family.

What's the deal with these rich guys killing themselves?

They are set for life, and they off themselves? Come on.

you have to be ill to take your own life. theres demons inside of these people that haunt them.

look at kurt cobain, for example. maybe money didnt buy the guy happiness.

On ESPN during the TCU game they mentioned he thanked Scott Pioli and Romeo Crennel for everything they had done for him before him committed suicide.

I despise anyone that kills someone else then kills themselves. If you want to die fine; that is your choice. But you are a gutless piece of trash if you take someone else with you

Condolences to that poor girl that was murdered, and her family. May Belcher rot in hell.

This is just sad all the way around. Now the little girl doesn't have a mom or a dad.

I pray for her and her future.

I sense a merge in the force

Jovan Belcher, a linebacker for the Kansas City Chiefs, committed suicide today in front of his coaches and police officers outside the team's stadium, shortly after he fatally shot his girlfriend, police said.

"We heard that they had been arguing in the past [and] as far as recently, they'd been arguing before the shooting occurred this morning," Kansas City Police spokesman Darin Snapp told ABC News Radio.
