The Kansas City Fire Department has released the audio for two 911 calls made after a pro football player shot and killed his girlfriend and himself Saturday.
The first call came from the linebacker Jovan Belcher’s mother, begging for an ambulance and telling Kasandra Perkins to fight for her life as the couple’s son is heard crying in the background. She was shot nine times and died soon after, according to the Associated Press.
The second call came from the Arrowhead stadium’s practice field, where Belcher drove after shooting Perkins. He thanked general manager Scott Pioli and coach Romeo Crennel, then shot himself.
