Police say Steve McNair's 20-year-old mistress, Sahel Kazemi, shot and killed him in his sleep and then shot herself on Saturday afternoon, according to a CNN report.
She shot him in the head and then fired three more shots as he slept on the couch, police say. Then she sat down next to him and shot herself so she would fall dead in his lap. She was found face-down on McNair's feet with the gun underneath her. The autopsy indicates she shot herself once through her right temple.
Nashville Police Chief Ronal Serpas said at a Wednesday afternoon press conference that the former NFL All-Pro quarterback's girlfriend had been upset for about a week because she thought McNair was involved with yet another woman.
She had become very distraught and on two occasions told friends and associates that her life was all messed up and that she was going to end it all of it. ... There was evidence that she was spinning out of control.
The totality of the evidence clearly points to a murder-suicide.
Here is a video from the press conference:
Our hearts and prayers go out to both families, especially to McNair's wife, Mechelle McNair (who has said she did not even know he was having an affair), and their four children.
