The player was linebacker Jovan Belcher.

As it turns out he and his girlfriend also had a child together.

Just so sad, also happens to be one day before the Chiefs play a game at their home stadium. As a Chiefs fan, very very sad things turned out this way.

Its also been reported that he was confronted outside of the Chiefs practice facility by several members of the Chiefs organization, which included Head Coach Romeo Crennel and General Manager Scott Pioli. They were there when the Belcher turned the gun on himself, all after he thanked them for all they had done for him.

Just a terrible situation for the team in a year where nothing has gone right. For those that aren't familiar, the team has a 1-10 record right now and lead the league in turnovers which is not a good stat. Also fans have really gone after the team this year.
