I have not heard who it was.
Wow, that is freakin' terrible. Killed his Gf and then drove to Chiefs facility and killed himself? Awful.
FWIW his Wiki page says he is dead.
Very sad.
Odd of him to go back to the training center to do it.
Kid was from long island

Apparently, he just had a kid, too...
***Unconfirmed*** - read on another website that he did it in the locker room in front of Pioli and Crennel.
OH MG this is bad news just terrible R . I. P oh my gosh this is not good
I feel bad for them. I hope it wasn't about their division record.
espn says in parking lot...
Big hole in that defense.
Just awful that a young man was so despondent as to take this terrible step
I wonder if the Chiefs will even play tomorrow. Can they forfeit?
Just saw a report that he killed his girlfriend before killing himself.

11:48AM EST December 1. 2012 - Police are investigating two shootings Saturday morning, involving a Kansas City Chiefs player and his girlfriend. Local Kansas City TV station KCTV 5 reports that the 25-year-old Chiefs player committed suicide outside the team's practice facility after killing his girlfriend.
Here are more details, from the AP:
Kansas City police Supervisor Andrea Khan could not release the name of the player involved. The condition of the two parties was not immediately known.
Khan said the first shooting happened in a Kansas City, Mo., neighborhood and the second happened at Arrowhead Stadium, about five miles away, at about 8 a.m. Saturday.
The Chiefs have released the following statement:
"We can confirm that there was an incident at Arrowhead earlier this morning. We are cooperating with authorities in their investigation."
The incident was first reported by FOX Sports' Jay Glazer, who tweeted that"players are being told to go Stadium for team meeting on what has gone down but more details I'm getting, not a good situation."
The Chiefs are scheduled to host the Panthers at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday. The Charlotte Observer's Joe Person tweeted that the NFL has has advised the Panthers to travel as planned.

There is also a Walmart baby registry for Kasandra Perkins & Jovan Belcher, set for 9/11/2012, here. The police have yet to name the first victim.
