Former NFL quarterback Erik Kramer suffered a gunshot wound Tuesday night in what his former wife called a suicide attempt.
[URL='http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/ex-nfl-qb-erik-kramer-wounded-apparent-suicide-attempt-sources-n412831']NBC News, citing sources, reported that officials from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department found Kramer in a Calabasas, California, motel room Tuesday night with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound. They had been called there for a welfare check on the 50-year-old.
Kramer's former wife, Marshawn Kramer, told NBC News on Wednesday that the 10-year NFL veteran had attempted suicide after suffering from years of depression.
"He is a very amazing man, a beautiful soul, but he has suffered depression since he was with the (Chicago) Bears," Kramer said. "I can promise you he is not the same man I married."
The two divorced in 2010, with Marshawn Kramer telling NBC News: "I know Erik and I would still be together if not for his football injury." She called it a "brain injury" but did not specify whether Erik Kramer had sustained concussions during his playing days.[/URL]
