This morning's news that NFL lineman Jovan Belcher had murdered his girlfriend and then subsequently committed suicide was extremely tragic. Any compassionate human being would immediately would reflect on the fact that a talented athlete wasted his own life and unfairly ended his girlfriend's as well.

Kansas City police are currently investigating two shootings that took place this morning. They say a Chiefs player shot and killed his girlfriend at their home and then headed to a practice facility where he committed suicide.
