No official word but on Wikipedia the player involved is listed as Jovan Belcher. (Which has since been retracted by editors citing "no offical word")

Kansas City Chiefs player killed girlfriend, then committed suicide at team facility
Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher fatally shot his girlfriend early Saturday, then drove to Arrowhead Stadium and committed suicide in front of his coach and general manager after first thanking them for everything they had done for him, police said.
Authorities did not immediately release a possible motive for the murder-suicide, which stunned the team and came one day before a home game against the Carolina Panthers. The NFL said the game would go on as scheduled.
Belcher was a 25-year-old native of West Babylon, N.Y., on Long Island, played college ball at Maine. He had played all four of his NFL seasons for the Chiefs and played in every game each year, including the 11 so far this season.
Before turning the gun on himself, Belcher thanked Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli and Romeo Crennel for all they had done for him ...

Praying for the Chiefs family today....

Man, a coworker and friend of my mom's just had her 15 year old son shoot himself in front of her a couple of days before Thanksgiving. Shit like this is just mind-boggling.

When I heard the tragic news I knew the name sounded familiar.
Maine's HC Jack Cosgrove comments:

Odd thing is, there is no mention of this on Maine's football website.

Feel for Crennel. Pioli & whoever else had to witness the guy kill himself. Tragic for the survivors.

Settle down, Bucky. Notice I posted that an hour after it hit the wires. You're posting with two days of hindsight now. Yeah, the guy is a murderer.
Will be interesting to find out exactly what the motivation was. Wonder if the kid was really his? That would be some crazy news for someone to tell you.
