[BillD1984]

A yet to be identified female was also found fatally shot in the home.

 

[SabresRule]

Wow.

Very surprising, shocking, and saddening.

I remember a lot about this guy:

Nearly won the Heisman in 1994

Revived the Oilers/Titans in the late 90s

Made Tennessee into a legit NFL powerhouse

Shared the MVP award with Manning in 2003

Had one of the great games in Super Bowl history, when he kept making so many big plays.

Had a nice season with the Ravens in 2006 before injuries led him to retirement

You will not be forgotten, Steve.

Very surprising! I am on the road...any news as to what happened?

Nothing confirmed but it's either double homicide or murder/suicide. They don't know yet.

Nothing confirmed but it's either double homicide or murder/suicide. They don't know yet.

It was more than likely a Freudian slip, but earlier an ESPN News anchor called McNair's death a "murder".

Apparently McNair was the victim of a murder-suicide:

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.
