"Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher this morning shot and killed his girlfriend before going to Arrowhead Stadium and fatally shooting himself as team personnel tried to stop him, police said.
Police Capt. David Lindaman said Belcher, 25, and his girlfriend, Kasandra Perkins, 22, got into an argument at their home in the 5400 block of Crysler Avenue in Kansas City. Around 7:50 a.m., Lindaman said, Belcher shot Perkins multiple times. She was taken to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead. Lindaman said Belcher’s mother, who was visiting the couple and their 2-month-old daughter from New York, witnessed the shooting and had been interviewed by police.
....Belcher left the scene on Crysler and went to the Chiefs practice facility at Arrowhead, police said. Police were called to the stadium around 8:10 a.m. When Belcher arrived there he encountered
General Manager Scott Pioli, Coach Romeo Crennel and other team personnel. Police said Chiefs staff attempted to keep Belcher from committing additional acts of violence. “He had a conversation with Scott Pioli,” Lindaman said. “There was no threat and it was quite friendly, from what I understand. The Chiefs organization had been very supportive of him and he was expressing that.”"
