Steve McNair — an NFL QB with the Tennesse Titans and Baltimore Ravens — was found dead Saturday in Nashville, Tenn., according to Nashville police.

McNair suffered a fatal gunshot wound to the head in downtown Nashville. A female victim was also found dead, which is Sahel Kazemi (20), a friend of McNair.

The call to police came in at 1:35 PM. The circumstances surrounding the shooting deaths remain under active investigation.

There were no signs of forced entry at the crime scene. No suspects have been taken into custody.
 

Don Aaron, a spokesman for the Nashville Metro PD, told News Channel 5 in Tennessee, "When police officers arrived in response to that call, they found two individuals who had been shot to death inside the residence: one female, one male. We now know that the male deceased is Steve McNair. The female deceased has been tentatively identified. We’re working to confirm that and then notify her next of kin."

McNair was a three-time Pro Bowler and was the NFL MVP in 2003. He retired in 2007.
Titans owner K.S. "Bud" Adams Jr. released this statement: "We are saddened and shocked to hear the news of Steve McNair’s passing today. He was one of the finest players to play for our organization and one of the most beloved players by our fans. He played with unquestioned heart and leadership and led us to places that we had never reached, including our only Super Bowl. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family as they deal with his untimely passing."

She Shot Him?

We just spoke with Tennessee assistant medical examiner Dr. Feng Li, who tells us preliminary test results in the Steve McNair death show Sahel Kazemi fired the gun that killed both of them.

Feng — who conducted autopsies on the two bodies — told us he was able to make the determination from the crime scene investigation, police interviews, autopsy findings and preliminary lab results — which include a gunshot residue test.

In a presser today, police in Nashville, TN revealed the following about the death of Steve McNair – an investigation they’re saying "clearly points to a murder-suicide."

• Sahel Kazemi told friends her life was "all messed up" and she was "going to end it all" before the incident.
• Kazemi was extremely stressed — she had two car payments, her roommate was moving out and she recently started thinking McNair was seeing someone else (he was actually married).
• The shell casings match the weapon purchased by Sahel and there was trace evidence on her left hand.
• The lack of struggle, Steve’s position on the couch and the trajectory of the bullet leads police to believe McNair was "likely asleep" on the couch when he was shot.
