I'm just stunned...

Whoever did this needs to get the Guantanamo Bay treatment and hung by their feet.

I agree. Catch and fry the SOB that did this

Channel 4 is reporting they took someone away in a police cruiser, not sure if it was a witness or someone involved as they are reporting it..

Apperantly it was just visitors in the condos and they took them in to see if they may have heard or saw anything......

I hate to think it........ but the possibility of a set-up or a vengeful lover seems likely.

Oye... I worried that once they said it was a tentatively identified female that it was probably a girlfriend.

They would have known who it was if it had been his wife.. They are reporting that it was his condo...

Plaster on WGFX is reporting that the police were tipped off at 1:30 am and multiple cartidges were found on the scene.

Didn't he open up a resturant around TSU in the past couple of weeks?

From reports, evidently it was a person of INTEREST.

Exactly. I'd think they wouldn't have to notify "next of kin" if it was his wife... so it's not looking good. Not that it'd be any better if it was his wife there dead with him, but still.

Now there saying that the female is a girl named Jennie that worked at Dave and Buster's at Opryland that McNair was having a relationship with. FWIW.

RIP Mac. Gosh. McNair was a hero to me. I will never forget the Giants game his MVP year where he came out - hobbled, without a minute of practice that week and led us on the field like no one but Steve could, to a victory. I met Steve once and he was the nicest guy. He always had time for his fans and didn't mind talking football with you. I think about his kids and how young he was and it's just so tragic. He was the first Sports Hero here in Nashville and he will always be the best in my mind. Such a tragic day.

That will be a my memory of McNair, always played no matter what condition he was in.

Edit: How about the time he broke his chest and was sewn up with chicken wire.

I remember that game as well (He ran in a two point conversion to send the game to overtime if I recall correctly), but it was in 2002 while his MVP season was the following year in 2003.
