An ex-NFL player who killed 6 people and then himself had CTE, doctors say

Former San Francisco 49ers cornerback Phillip Adams, pictured in this 2010 photo, had CTE, a degenerative brain disease. Authorities say he shot and killed six people earlier this year before killing himself.

Boston University neuropathologists said Phillip Adams had chronic traumatic encephalopathy — a degenerative brain disease found in many former football players.
