Shooting at KC Chiefs facility

From Jay Glazer's twitter.

Scary situation in KC right now as a player and another person have been shot at the Chiefs facility. Don't want to reveal player until his family knows

 

A quick perusal of Chiefs fan message boards have the name Jovan Belcher, a starting linebacker, named as the rumored perpetrator/victim.

 

Police: player shot girlfriend at a home, then shot himself at the facility.

Belcher's name all over Twitter now, though unconfirmed by a reputable news source that I can tell. Wikipedia page has been changed to reflect, but, as we know, anyone can do that.

What a horrendous story.

Do the Chiefs still play tomorrow? Crass to think about, I guess, but that decision has to be made quickly.

 

The Redskins played the week Sean Taylor died. It was a couple days later, but that team was still in mourning too.

 

I've heard the Chiefs, Panthers and NFL are talking about maybe canceling the game.

some reports are saying Belcher killed himself in front of two Chiefs coaches.

 

Taylor died at home, not at the team facility.

 

No reason to play this game. Little impact on standings.

 

Wow. Yeah, OK, if that's the case, Taylor isn't in the same ballpark as a comparison.

I don't think we've ever seen a team end up a game short in the NFL standings, but I don't think anyone would have a problem with this one.

 

I'm guessing they end up canceling this game - would that happen if this if either, or both, of the teams was in the running for the playoffs? Not asking whether it should still be canceled (I believe it should), but would it?
