Los Angeles (AFP) - Former National Football League quarterback Erik Kramer was treated for a gunshot wound following an apparent failed suicide attempt, US media reported.
The incident took place Tuesday at a motel in Calabasas, about 30 miles (50 kilometers) northwest of Los Angeles.
Police said they were alerted to the scene when someone asked them to check on the 50-year-old Kramer.
Kramer's ex-wife told NBC News that depression and head injury were factors for Kramer, who played with the Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions, Atlanta Falcons and San Diego Chargers.
