This is just awful. Sources say he shot her in front of her mother who called 911. Then he went to the facility, thanked the coach and general manager for all that they did for him and killed himself.

Sounds Chris Benoitish. I suspect he had something that altered his state if mind in his system. Sad and tragic I cant see the players getting motivation to play today after this incident.

Something had to be going on. The people they were talking to all had good things to say about him as a person. Seems off for sure.

Bob Costas advocates for gun control

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP)
NBC broadcaster Bob Costas used his halftime segment on ''Sunday Night Football'' to advocate for gun control following this weekend's murder-suicide involving Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher, causing an immediate debate on social media.

In a segment about 90 seconds long, Costas paraphrased and quoted extensively from a piece by Fox Sports columnist Jason Whitlock.

After praising the column, Costas said: ''In the coming days, Jovan Belcher's actions and their possible connection to football will be analyzed. Who knows? But here, wrote Jason Whitlock, is what I believe. If Jovan Belcher didn't possess a gun, he and Kasandra Perkins would both be alive today.''

Belcher shot and killed Perkins, the mother of his 3-month daughter, on Saturday morning, then drove to Arrowhead Stadium and committed suicide in the parking lot of the team's practice facility.

The online reaction to Costas' segment was swift, with many people criticizing the broadcaster for expressing his personal views on a program meant for entertainment.
