"Police said they found McNair and a woman identified as Sahel Kazemi shot to death after receiving a phone call about an injured person.

McNair's body was found seated on a living room sofa, authorities said.

Kazemi sustained a gunshot wound to the head, authorities said. Police also said a pistol was found near her body.

Autopsies were scheduled for Sunday.

Asked whether the shooting was a murder-suicide, Don Aaron, spokesman for the Nashville Metropolitan Police Department, said investigators have not classified the incident. He said investigators have not ruled out anything but added that they were not "actively looking at suspects" Saturday night."

Now, I'm no rocket scientist, but...

- McNair was shot multiple times
- Kazemi was shot once
- A gun was found near her body
- Police are not actively looking at suspects

There seem to be mutterings on espn boards* that on 2nd July, Sahel Kazemi's ex had put this on his myspace page: 'The Caucasian Persuasion riden with keith. f__k a quarterback. who is Mcnair in 09? rip sahel kazemi'

So maybe the police are looking at suspects a little more actively...

Either way, this is a tragedy for the families involved and lets hope his kids are ok.

Definitely a tragedy. RIP McNair, but I feel even sadder for his wife. Finding out what he was doing through the loss of her husband...That ain't right...

Nah, it's been ruled a murder-suicide after the gun that was under her was matched to the wounds on both of them.

Speculation:

To McNair this was a little hanky panky on the side. He was planning on staying with his wife, apparently they were looking to buy a new home. To the star-struck waitress, however, it was the future.

When the girl and McNair were pulled over by cops, it was a reality check. He realized there was a snowball's chance in hell of keeping their relationship under wraps. So he tried to shut it down. But the waitress went ballistic, she had already developed a craving for the good life after McNair 'upgraded' her Kia to an Escalade. So she bought a gun, and the rest is in the news.
