“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,” said Don Aaron with Metro Police on the situation.

That female victim’s identity was not released as of 4:20 p.m. Saturday afternoon.

“There were persons who were around the complex today who have been taken to headquarters for questioning,” Don Aaron explained. However, he made it clear that there were no suspects in custody at the time.

Titan’s owner ‘Bud’ Adams Jr. released the following statement on the Titan’s web site:

“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.”

WE R ALL NOT PERFECT.BUT INTIL SOMEONE ACTUALLY WAS THERE TO KNOW THE FACTS i THINK PPL SHOULD JUST NOT JUDGE THATS ALL.

    No love for the adulterer. Loved him when he was with the Titans. My prayers go out to his kids and wife. NOT only does she have to deal with the violent death of her husband with whom she thought she was happily married to, but he has to also deal with him being a lair and cheater. So sad. When will the mess end?

    REGUARDLESS OF WHAT THIS MAN WAS DOING IN HIS PRIVATE TIME , NOBODY HAS TO ANSWER TO HIS MISJUDGEMENT BUT HIM, BECAUSE WE ALL DO SOMETHING IN OUR LIVES THAT NOBODY KNOWS ABOUT, SO LETS START LOOKING AT OURSELVES BEFORE WE START PASSING JUDGEMENT, SO INSTEAD OF SECOND GUESSING WHAT THIS MAN WAS DOING, WE ALL SHOULD BE PRAYING FOR HIS FAMILY. SPEAKING FOR ALL OF YOUR FANS HERE IN NASHVILLE, REST IN PEACE AND MY GOD BE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY

    SENDING MY CONDOLENCE TO THE McNAIR FAMILY. I WISH FOR THE BEST, AND HATE TO HEAR OF ALL THE UGLY NEGATIVITY ABOUT THE EXTRA AFFAIR….IT’S THE KIDS & WIFE WHO WILL SUFFER THE MOST, WITH ALL OF THE PRESS RUBBING IN THE AFFAIR WITH A YOUNG NON-AFRO-AMERICAN WOMAN AT WHICH HIS DEATH WAS CAUSED. LET’S JUST GIVE SUPPORT TO THE FAMILY, AS WELL HIS PARENTS…

    I think that it is a shame. What is is doing having a condo with his friend. He is a married man. My blessing is for his wife & her 4 kids. He was creepin & secret is out!!!!

  • 7-5-2009 8:16 pm

    even if he was sex starved at home he still shouldn’t have went out the marriage. not saying he was sex deprived. but marriage and dating are 2 different things. when you are married you make a promise before god to stay faithful no matter what. this was a murder-suicide i think. homie did not want to leave wifey and the jump-off wasn’t having it.BTW people married men do not usually leave their wives. what you see on tv is just a few. it is not rampant like people think. if you look at people you know there will not be many who have done that.

    so much thoughts run thru my head..its like ppl cant die naturally these days…

  • 7-5-2009 5:08 pm

    Damm R.I.P. Steve and god bless his family so many bad things happen to good people

  • 7-5-2009 2:56 pm

    Reneagemeni76 : its not about the race, atleast not for me. I hate that he died but it looks bad for him to have been with his girlfriend and very disrespectful to his wife and kids. The story changed in one day from that being his girlfriend in her condo and “their” Escalade with both of their names on the title to the condo being his that he share with a guy friend, to that being his”friend” then the neighbors do not wanna respond to who she was. I mean think about it as his wife would you want this to happen to you , you find out your husband is cheating with a another lady at the time of his death..This information I did read on here and on CNN and I saw it change within a day.

    RIP Steve – another great loss… and to everyone cyber ‘arguing’ about who did what – what difference does it make at this point?! Let the police do their job in determining the FACTS. I understand we’re all entitled to our opinions, but you shouldn’t automatically place blame because someone is black, white, asian, indian, etc. That’s what’s wrong w/ society now… RIP Steve – my thoughts and prayers go out to this family now in mourning.

    @ sub-negro

    I said nothing about dating and I do understand that because I work with Mid-eastern people. The point I’m trying to say is if a white person came up here saying something like that about blacks, blacks would be all over their ass. I said that what the person I said below was racist. I work around Middle Eastern people all the time. Just because you some on TV, resulting toward violence doesn’t mean all of them are like that. That’s what one of my co-workers was saying the other day. That’s just like saying all black people are lazy and have babies out of wedlock and want to get on welfare.

    Another one bites the dust…

    kissy_80 most woman form the middle east aren’t allowed to date outside there race. Unless they end up breaking away from there families there could be severe consequences.

  • 7-5-2009 10:19 am

    @ butterfly cover

    What you just said was racist about Middle Eastern People. It’s bad he got killed the way he did but nobody knows nothing. How do you know someone could have been follwoing him or he could have been leading a secret life it could have been anything. People please get FACTS before you start assuming what happens.

  • 7-5-2009 8:56 am

    Wake up people! The Enemy really is busy. It could be that he was sex deprived at home. More than likely this was not a right relationship with this Lady and she may have wanted him to leave wifey and shot him then herself. She was a woman from a middle eastern country, not to say that middle eastern people are violent just that most have been exposed to extreme violence. “Men need to be careful also”

  • 7-5-2009 6:32 am

    Who done it???? The dude was cheating on his wife and his shawty killed him then killed herself… Call it a fatal attraction…

    R.I.P AIR MCNAIR

  • 7-4-2009 8:54 pm

    It is time to check ourselves and our motives on a personal basis. The enemy has cme to lie, steal, and kill both the physical, and spiritual being! I come from Africa where to hang, drag, or slay on is part of the struggle, but for me to come to America and see the envy and striff especially of Africas ancestors breaks my heart, and really know I see that I’am a native son with no home!!! So may Steve rest in God’s arms, and the Holy Spirit comfort his wife , childeren, and family!!!
    Yo lets wake up!!!!!

  • 7-4-2009 8:31 pm

BUT IT IS A PATH WE ALL MUST TAKE ONE DAY… IT TRUELY SADDENS ME THAT PEOPLE DONT SHOW THIS MUCH INTREST AS OUR YOUNG PEOPLE DIE DAILY, AND AT THE HANDS OF EACH OTHER… NEIGHBORHOOD AGAINST NEIGHBORHOOD OR STREET AGAINST STREET… TAKE NOTICE OF OUR CHILDREN B4 THERE IS NO FUTURE STEVE MCNAIR OR MJS… I AM SORRY FOR EVERY LOST…
