Former NFL quarterback Steve McNair and his girl friend 20-year-old Sahel Kazemi, were found dead Saturday in a condo rented by McNair in Nashville, Tennessee

• Thursday night, Sahel Kazemi purchased a semi-automatic pistol. Police will not say who she got it from, but they think this gun killed McNair.

• Early Saturday morning, McNair met Kazemi at his Nashville condo.

• At 1:30 p.m. Saturday, a 911 call was made alerting police of the shootings. Police believe the bodies were actually discovered before 1 p.m., and are "concerned" about the time lapse they believe occurred.

• McNair was found on the sofa with several gunshot wounds, including one to the head, while Sahel was on the floor near him with a single gunshot wound to head. A gun was also found near her body at a Second Avenue condominium that he rented on Saturday (July 4). As we first reported, it seems to be a murder/suicide but police is still waiting for the autopsy results to confirm it.

• McNair was married to Mechelle McNair, the mother of three of his four children, who was first believed to be the female victim, was devastated when she heard the news

• Sahel, a 20 year-old woman who worked at an Opry Mills restaurant, had been arrested and charged with DUI just two days ago (July 2). The vehicle she drove was a 2007 black Cadillac Escalade, which was in both her and McNair’s names. Police have confirmed McNair was, in fact, in the car when it happened but they allowed him to take a cab home. McNair later bailed Sahel out of jail.

• The former quarterback’s family released the following statement: “The families of Steve McNair in Mississippi and Tennessee appreciate the concern, thoughts and prayers during this difficult time of our loss of a husband, father and son. The family requests everyone would allow them time to mourn. The McNair family appreciates and continues to request your prayers at this time.
