Police confirmed Wednesday that ex-NFL star Steve McNair's 20-year-old girlfriend killed him before turning the gun on herself.
They said they may never know what was going through Sahel Kazemi's mind when she shot McNair in his condominium early Saturday, but interviews with friends led detectives to conclude she was becoming increasingly distraught over events in her life, including financial problems. Police said she also suspected McNair was seeing another woman.
Police earlier had labeled McNair's death a homicide, but awaited further tests and investigation before saying for sure what happened.
At one point, Kazemi told an associate that her "personal life was all screwed up," Police Chief Ronal Serpas said. She had mounting debts and had been unable to sell her car. Her roommate was moving, which would have doubled her rent.
"We do know that she was clearly sending a message during the last five to seven days of her life that things were going bad quickly," Serpas said, though there was no indication she told anyone she planned to harm McNair.
Serpas said police believe McNair was asleep on a sofa when Kazemi shot him in the head. She then apparently shot him twice in the chest before shooting him again in the head and then shooting herself.
McNair, a quarterback for the Tennessee Titans most of his career, was shot at a condo he rented with another man. The gun was found underneath Kazemi.
Kazemi's family told reporters that the woman was so confident McNair was divorcing his wife of 12 years that she was preparing to sell her furniture and move in with him.
But associate Mike Mu ... said McNair's wife, Mechelle McNair, "didn't know who this girl is." No records of divorce proceedings have surfaced.

Interesting tag line you got.
Correction: Does it make sense to wait FORTY-FOUR minutes before calling 911?
The last thing to go through her mind period was that 9mm slug.
It’s a quote from the foreign minister of Israel responding to Obama’s proclamation that Jews can’t live around the Temple Mount (where they’ve lived continuously for 3000 years, mind you).
They were dead, calling 911 for that is like is calling 911 if someone is breaking your front down.
You shoot the intruder, then call 911 so they can carry off the dead perp.
I have never called 911 in my life.
I sure would not sit around and wait 44 minutes and then call 911, giving the culprit time to get away. Wayne Neeley had no way of knowing she might have shot McNair since the gun reportedly was hidden under her body.
I would not be surprised if the crimes happened just as the police claim, but this waiting around for 44 minutes raises question.
Liberals do love telling people where they can live as the Supreme Court showed in that Kelo ruling.
