NFL linebacker kills his baby’s mother, then himself as coaches look on – 13
Jovan Belcher, linebacker of the Kansas City Chiefs, shot his girlfriend on Saturday at her home. Their three month old daughter was in another room at the time of the incident. He then got in his car and drove 5 miles to Arrowhead Stadium, home of the Cheifs, where he shot himself in the head in front of his coach and general manager. The police heard the gunshot as they pulled into the parking lot.
This story is newsworthy because it obviously effects a lot of people that are going to want to know why he did this. Something like this occurring is also pretty rare. The police had no problems with Belcher prior to this incident and it is still a mystery as to what was the cause. They only thing they know for sure was that the couple had been arguing lately.
The article that I read was from cnn.com and I thought it was interesting how throughout the article they put links to other pages with peoples opinions on the subject. This adds more to the story than just having the one article.
