NFL Player Kills GF, then himself

[dustdevil28]

A member of the Kansas City Chiefs killed his girlfriend, than after a brief stand off with police at the teams practice facility, killed himself.

The Chiefs are supposed to play a home game tomorrow against the Panthers. The NFL has stated the game will go on as scheduled. I disagree with this, why not push the game 24 hours?

Should Kansas City play the game?

New news says both the Chiefs GM and head coach were at the scene when the LB committed suicide in his truck. And the next day the NFL wants them to go on with a game?

Anybody else think this should be pushed 24 hours?

New Details emerge.

......................

The Kansas City Star has uncovered the details of the events that led Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher to murder Kasandra Perkins, his 22-year-old girlfriend and mother of their 3-month-old daughter, before taking his own life in front of GM Scott Pioli, head coach Romeo Crennel and linebackers coach Gary Gibbs at Chiefs headquarters on Saturday.

According to the report, the couple had argued over relationship and financial issues for months before the tragic events unfolded on Saturday. The Chiefs were aware of the off-field issues that their 25-year-old linebacker was having and "were bending over backwards" to help Belcher, Police Sgt. Richard Sharp said.

The couple argued early Saturday morning after Perkins attended a Trey Songz concert and had drinks with friends, while Belcher reportedly "partied" in Kansas City's Power & Light District on Friday night. According to the Associated Press, police found Belcher asleep in his car outside an apartment building at nearly 3 a.m. Belcher said he was there to visit his girlfriend, but she wasn't home. After police determined that Belcher had no warrants, he made a phone call and was let into the building by a woman.

According to the AP report, Belcher stayed at that apartment until 6:30 a.m. Upon his arrival back at his home, Belcher and Perkins argued again, with Belcher's mother hearing her son say something along the lines of "You can't talk to me like that" before pulling the trigger.
