KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Police have released video of officers responding after Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher shot his girlfriend and later himself.

Two dashboard videos were released Friday night, nearly a week after Belcher killed Kasandra Perkins at their home and then drove to the team’s stadium and shot himself on Dec. 1.

The first video shows officers finding Belcher asleep in his parked car around 3 a.m. that day outside an apartment complex. Police say he told officers he was there to visit a woman who wasn’t home. A woman eventually let Belcher into the building.

The second video was recorded as a patrol car responds five hours later to Arrowhead Stadium. Police radio catches officers confirming that there’s been a shooting connected to Belcher, and later that he’s armed at the stadium.
