Horrific story coming out of KC this morning. Apparently KC LB Jovan Belcher shot his girlfriend, then drove to the stadium to say goodbye to everyone, then finally shot himself.

Reportedly the girlfriend had just had a baby, too. Thoughts and prayers for the little one most of all. :(

Just goes to show that things aren't always as they appear.

I'm sure most people probably think, he's a pro football player, has a family, and cash coming in, what's not to be happy about?

It's sad and the poor little girl will never know her parents.

Prayers go out to all.

Yes it proves that mental illness can effect anyone, and that just because someone is living a successful life, people still need to look for signs that something could be wrong. Even people who assume to be educated individuals, (a poster named Homer), so many times their knowledge doesn't even scratch the surface of what's going on.
