NFL Murder-Suicide

Early Saturday morning Kansas City Chiefs' linebacker Jovan Belcher took his and his girlfriend's lives. It started with a call to the local police department at 7:50 a.m. when gun shots were reported at 22-year-old Kasandra Perkins' home. 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. Belcher and Perkins left behind a 3-month old baby who reporters say has been taken into custody by family members. The Kansas City Chiefs played in a game on Sunday against the Carolina Panthers where they won 27-21. The tragedy still fresh at hand, a moment of silence was held as the team mourned the loss of a fellow player.
