McNair Was Shot in Sleep by Girlfriend
Former NFL quarterback Steve McNair, a married father of four, was shot to death while he slept on a sofa by his 20-year-old girlfriend who was "spinning out of control," police said. Sahel Kazmi was distraught about her financial problems and her belief that McNair was also seeing another woman.When the bodies of McNair and Kazemi were found in a Nashville condominium rented by McNair and a friend, police were at first reluctant to call it a murder-suicide.
Police Chief Ronal Serpas said further investigation revealed that Kazemi was making payments on two car, her rent was doubling and she thought McNair was having a second affair with another young woman.
Serpas said Kazemi told a friend that "My life is a ball of s--- and I should end it."
Tried to Stage the Scene
"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.
Because of the positioning of McNair's body and the lack of defensive wounds, investigators believe he was shot while he slept. Apparently, Kazemi shot him in the head, shoot him twice more in the chest, then shot him in the head again.
Serpas said that Kazemi tried to stage it so that when she shot herself she would fall into his lap. She first landed on his lap but slid to the floor at his feet. The 9 mm semiautomatic she used was found underneath her body.

thats what he gets for cheating. you never know what can happen.the poor girl was only 20 and he messed with her head. this should be a wake up call for all the cheaters!!!!
Nancy…………..please stop and think in future before you spew such ignorant, idiotic garbage. The world will be a better place for it. So…if I understood you correctly, the 20 year-old moron who FIRED A GUN INTO A SLEEPING, DEFENSELESS MAN because she didn’t have the guts to deal with her problems is COMPLETELY BLAMELESS??? In essence, are you saying that Steve McNair DESERVED THIS? Your sickness may be on par with his murderer’s.
We don’t know if Steve McNair was having an affair with this 20 year old girl, but even if he was, it’s still no excuse to kill.
If a man had killed a woman who he found out was cheating on him & shot & killed her in a passion crime (2nd Degree Murder for which you spend many years in prison), it’s unlikely that Nancy would excuse the man’s deeds & would lecture such as “finding out your wife is having an affair doesn’t excuse killing your wife.”
We may never know why this 20 year old woman shot & killed Steve McNair. Nancy is an evil slut if she says what she believes & sides with this 20 year old woman.
BTW Nancy, even if Steve McNair was having an affair, the 20 year old woman is = involved. You keep condemning Steve McNair, but for you to exonerate the 20 year old woman smells as bad as Nancy’s turds.
The cheating 20 year old girlfriend is = responsible in an affair. Again, we don’t know if Steve McNair was having an affair & why he was shot & killed is only speculative. But Nancy’s apologism smells as bad as Nancy’s turds & if Nancy were raped, I wouldn’t feel sorry for her if she believes what she writes.
Sid, you said it well. No, Nancy should not be raped, but if Nancy were beaten up for the turds she writes, I wouldn’t feel sorry for her, though the perpetrator must go to jail.
With that said, if Nancy believes what she writes, then Nancy is an evil slut who does it with many men or Nancy is an evil turd. Perhaps Nancy should also write about how rape&sex abuse are OK when the perpetrator is a woman & the victim is a teenage boy.
