Former Tennessee Titans quarterback Steve McNair has been killed, a source has confirmed to ESPN.com. McNair, police said, suffered a fatal gunshot wound to the head in downtown Nashville. A female victim was also found dead, police spokesperson Don Aaron said. Aaron said the woman has not been identified, pending notification of next of kin. The incident happened near 2nd South & Lea Ave in Nashville. McNair played 13 seasons in the NFL, 11 were with the Titans. He played his final two years with the Baltimore Ravens, retiring after the 2007 season. McNair was picked third overall in the 1995 draft out of Alcorn State by the then Houston Oilers.

Still developing, but I hate to see this. McNair was a class act.

McNair was a good guy in a league that needs all the good guys it can get. Very sad. Prayers to his friends and family.

Nashville along with Memphis are very dangerous cities.

Is Nashville that dangerous of a place? Just wondering. I have never been to Tennessee. I hate to read about senseless crimes like this.

I remember the end of the 2000 or 2001 season (getting old) and McNair was making throws that were unreal. Always under rated due to the markets he played in, but he was humble and took care of business on the field.

I remember back what a phenomenon he was back when he played in college, and how excited the then-Houston Oilers were when they drafted him.

Damn shame.

Rumor at Vanderbilt Hospital is that the girl he was with shot him, then turned the gun on herself. She wasn’t succesful at killing herself, and is on way to Vandy.

True, you never heard anything bad about him, both on and off the field.

Man! “McNair was a class act.” Being a Titans fan I followed his career, and he always seemed to be fine fellow.

RIP I enjoyed the way you played the game.

I think the fact that so many did not know who he was shows just what a great guy he was. I don’t know what that says about this country but I don’t think that it’s good.
