July 5, 2009 - 2:37 PM

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Police are calling the shooting death of

former NFL quarterback Steve McNair a homicide, but they haven't

yet reached a conclusion about the death of the 20-year-old woman

found with him.

 

Nashville police spokesman Don Aaron said Sunday that the two

had been dating the past several months.

 

Aaron says McNair was shot four times, twice in the head. The

woman, 20-year-old Sahel Kazemi, was killed by a single gunshot

wound. The pistol was found near her body.

 

The 36-year-old McNair, a four-time Pro Bowl selection who was

married with four children, and Kazemi were found dead Saturday at

a Nashville condominium he shared with a friend.

 

McNair played most of his career with the Tennessee Titans

before he was traded to the Baltimore Ravens. He retired last year.
