A Christmas Special

As an NFL tradition, palyers that end the year well tend to give gifts to their teammates who have helped them reach their success. Normally this may consist of a dinner or watch but not this year for Texans running back, Arian Foster. In celebration of the holidays and a good year, he gave his lineman a more thoughtful gift. He gave them segways. He rides one and some of the men give him a hard time about it so he decided to give them their very own, as riding them is already a tradition in Texas.

Police arrived to the scene where they found Kasandra, Belchers at the time girlfriend, badly wounded with several gunshots. She was rushed to the hospital where she soon was pronounced dead. About twenty minutes after the first call, police recieved a second call from the Chiefs' home stadium. It was reported that there was a man armed with a handgun. It was Jovan Belcher. He was outside the stadium reportedly thanking coaches when he held the gun to his head and took his own life. The reason behind the shootings is not known except that belcher and Perkins had been in an arguement prior the the incidents.
