Steve McNair shot dead

Former Tennessee Titan and Baltimore Raven QB Steve McNair was found dead today of a gunshot wound to the head in an apartment he was renting in Nashville. There are no known suspects at this time and police are taking people to the station for questioning.

“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.

Former teammate Derrick Mason is shocked by the news.

“We were very close. We built a close bond throughout the ten years we played together that not too many people can build. … it’s shocking to me. It’s hard to believe,” Mason said.

“His passion for the game,” Mason continued. “How relentless he was. … He was probably the toughest quarterback that’s played. I think that’s what he will be remembered by on the football field – his toughness.”

“He was a guy who was happy,” Mason said. “He would give you the shirt off his back if he could. Very generous. That’s what made him special. I knew if he could help you, he would.”

It’s a very sad day for the NFL world. We are really curious to find out what the hell happened.
