Police: Jeremiah Ratliff said he 'felt like killing everybody' at facility
Former Chicago Bears defensive lineman Jeremiah Ratliff said he "felt like killing everybody" at the team facility the day before he was released by the Bears, according to a police report.
Ratliff also called himself "the devil" and said he wanted staff members' children to die, the report said.
On Oct. 21, reporters observed Ratliff and general manager Ryan Pace having an animated conversation in front of the Bears' Halas Hall facility around 11:30 a.m. CT while the rest of the team was on the practice field. Multiple sources confirmed the Bears asked Ratliff to leave the facility because they felt he was not in the proper condition to work that day. Sources added that Ratliff later returned to the building several times before leaving for good.
According to the police report, which is heavily redacted to remove names and some identifying details, Ratliff returned and said he needed to get his belongings, at which point he said he "felt like killing everybody in the building." A short time later, he returned and said he needed to retrieve his cellphone, entering the property by foot when security would not let him through in his car. He was escorted to get his phone, during which time he made the comment referring to himself as the devil and saying he wished staff members' children would die.
