Unbelievable. A heckuva competitor who toughed out every bump and bruise in his career. He was a real throwback QB, one you know could have been successful in professional football in any era. RIP Steve -- we'll never forget that Super Bowl you gave us against St. Louis.
This is truly shocking. Steve McNair was a hell of a football player and a stand up guy from everything I've seen and read. RIP McNair and prayers out to his family.
UPDATED 10 p.m.: Steve McNair and Sahel Kazemi killed STAFF REPORTS • July 4, 2009
UPDATED: 10 P.M. Former Tennessee Titans quarterback Steve McNair was killed in an apparent murder-suicide with a young woman he met at a local restaurant and have been dating for at least a few months.
McNair, the hometown hero who did extensive charity work in Nashville, died of several gunshots and was found on the sofa, police said. Sahel Kazemi, 20, was found alongside him in a Second Avenue condo he rented. She had a single gunshot wound to her head; a pistol was found near her body.
Metro police spokesman Don Aaron said they were leaning toward certain scenarios based on the evidence, but they hadn’t ruled anything out. Still, they were not actively looking for suspects Saturday night.
“The medical examiner will be conducting autopsies (Sunday),” Aaron said. “We expect to make additional conclusions after the autopsy process.”
Though much of the attention was on the Second Avenue crime scene, police also swarmed at the Cherry Creek apartment complex in Hermitage. They were questioning neighbors who said they often saw McNair visiting Kazemi. Sometimes, neighbors said, she would arrive home in a limousine in the early morning hours. She showed up with a new black car she said was a gift from her boyfriend.
