Nashville police announced that former NFL star Steve McNair was shot dead in his sleep last week by his 20-year-old girlfriend, who was distraught about mounting financial problems and her belief that McNair was seeing someone else. Sahel Kazemi “was spinning out of control” when she shot McNair four times as he dozed on a sofa early Saturday, then turned the gun on herself, Police Chief Ronal Serpas said.
