Former NFL quarterback Erik Kramer “shot himself Tuesday in a suicide attempt, but survived,” according to law enforcement sources, per Andrew Blankstein of NBCNews.com. The incident occurred in a Los Angeles area motel.
Blankstein noted that Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies were called to the motel for a welfare check and found Kramer with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound.
Kramer's ex-wife Marshawn said, per Blankstein, "He is a very amazing man, a beautiful soul, but he has suffered depression since he was with the Bears. I can promise you he is not the same man I married.
