NFL Player Kills Girlfriend Then Self

Apparently shot her in front of her mother, drove to the teams training facility, thanked the coach and GM for all they had done for him then shot himself.

Saddest thing of all is that they are leaving behind a 3 month old baby.
 
I'm from Kansas City and came to lurk over on this board to get away from this story. Unbelievably sad. If you want to lose your faith in humanity then go over to the ESPN story comment section.

Somebody kills somebody else shocker.

Kinda slightly news worthy in a way pal. I know someone has probs shot someone dead in the fevallas (sp) in Rio today but that shit isn't a shocker. This maybe is.

Still, not very shocking to me mate.

I guess a Yank shooting another might not make their equivalent of Northwest Tonight in the States. But the fact a well paid sportsman murders his girlfriend then blows his grey matter all over the floor infront of his coach and manager is a tad odd and thus maybe newsworthy.

I certainly agree, just saying that nothing that happens over the border shocks me anymore. Maybe if it was beckham that did it, I would be surprised.
 
Canadian wrestler Chris Benoit did something similar a few years back, only it was asphyxia rather than gun shots and he took his son's life too. Doctors theorised that Benoit's wrestling career had led to many concussions caused by head trauma and that this severe brain damage may have been what caused him to lose control. I wonder if this case will turn out the same.
 
Brutal.

First thought is "what a selfish twat" leaving his kid without a mother, but you have to think there is some serious mental illness there to make a man do what this lad did.

Heart goes out to the family and especially the little one, hope there is someone who can take good care of her.

What a truly horrific place a person must be in to do such a thing.

RIP

What! He's just murdered his wife and left his baby without any parents. I think burn in hell is more apt (if it existed, which it doesn't).

WV isn't justifying it. But highlighting how somebodies head must be so screwed up that they burst.

Fair enough but I can't understand why anyone would want this murdering selfish twat to rest in peace.

Thankyou.

I wasn't referring to just him, but the woman he killed.

I echo your sentiments with regards to his wife but struggle to feel that for him.
