Bills running back C.J. Spiller has left Buffalo and will be in Florida indefinitely to be with his family following the suicide of his step-grandfather, Hubert Allen, Jr.
Allen killed himself on Saturday and allegedly shot and killed two other two men and injured two more men, in a shooting that took place in Union County, Fla.
Allen had been married to Spiller's maternal grandmother until she passed away when Spiller was in eighth grade, according to the Buffalo News.
Spiller played in Buffalo's 30-7 preseason loss to the Redskins on Saturday, the day of the shooting.
"I talked to him when we landed from the Washington game," coach Doug Marrone said. "I obviously excused him to be able to go back and handle obviously what is a personal situation. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims as well as C.J. and his family in this situation."
