I know! It's ridiculous. They have MONEY, why aren't they happy, well adjusted machines?

They aren't machines? They are people? People who have feelings and issues outside of their profession bank account?

BUT THEY HAVE MONEY!!! I don't understand how they could be unhappy if they have an above-average income!

Actually, I think his position coach saw him shoot himself too. Which sounds like this was a more drawn out thing, I doubt Crennel, Pioli, and the LB coach happened to be parking at the same time. Which sounds like people knew about a little incident (perhaps, looked out a window or something). You think those were the ONLY people at work that day? Maybe it's just me, but if I had a coworker, someone I'd worked closely with for (up to) 4 years kill themselves while I was around/aware of it, it would probably screw up my focus the next day.

Also, "a tragedy of any kind." Really? It's not like their co-worker's grandmother died. Their co-worker SHOT AND KILLED HIMSELF AT THEIR PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT THE DAY PRIOR. If you can't see the difference, you are being purposefully obtuse.*

*Also: yes, he murdered someone. That is a terrible, awful, unforgiveable thing. ESPECIALLY given these circumstances. However, does that make what these people went through (HAVING A COWORKER SHOOT AND KILL THEMSELVES AT YOUR OFFICE THE DAY PRIOR) any different? Are they supposed to immediately not have any sort of human feelings about losing someone they worked closely with because of this?

What a coward

So is there any reason floating around as to why he killed her and himself?

Money & Fame isn't what it seems.

Yep, just as poor people find ways to be happy, rich people find ways to be depressed. You are what you are.

Was not the coach and GM

Ok, so perhaps it was three, two of which were his coach and GM.

Or is every story I'm reading wrong?

"Belcher thanked general manager Scott Pioli and coach Romeo Crennel before shooting himself in the parking lot of the team's practice facility, police spokesman Darin Snapp said. Police had locked it down by midmorning and reporters were confined to the street just outside the gates."

"And there were Pioli and Crennel and another coach or employee was standing outside and appeared to be talking to him. It appeared they were talking to the suspect," Snapp said. "The suspect began to walk in the opposite direction of the coaches and the officers and that's when they heard the gunshot. It appears he took his own life."

Wait...what was the point you were trying to get across? I missed that one.

I read it as he was in a car with a coach and thanked Crennel and the GM to the position coach.

Hadn't seen your second paragraph so I guess it was Pioli and Crennel
