TMZ reports:
Belcher had driven to the Chiefs practice facility after shooting the mother of his child Kasandra Perkins at their home … and, while carrying a handgun, had a conversation with Chiefs GM Scott Pioli in the parking lot.
According to witnesses, Belcher told Pioli … “I’m sorry Scott, I’ve done a bad thing to my girlfriend already. I want to talk with Gibbs and Romeo.”
He continued, “You know that I’ve been having some major problems at home and with my girlfriend. I need help! I wasn’t able to get enough help. I appreciate everything you all have done for me with trying to help … but it wasn’t enough. I have hurt my girl already and I can’t go back now.”
According to witnesses, Crennel arrived at the parking lot and pled with Belcher, saying “You’re taking the easy way out.”
