Former NFL quarterback Steve McNair,36 years old whose most noted drive was the final one of the 2000 Super Bowl, was found dead with a gunshot wound to the head Saturday afternoon in a downtown condominium. Police said a woman was also shot dead.

Former star NFL quarterback Steve McNair and a woman were found shot to death in Nashville on Saturday. Steve was married to Mechelle McNair (often misspelled Michelle).

He played 13 seasons before retiring in April 2008. Police spokesman Don Aaron said officials tentatively identified the woman, but did not release her name. He confirmed she wasn’t McNair’s wife, Mechelle.

“The circumstances surrounding the shooting deaths remain under active investigation,” Nashville police said in a statement.

The former NFL MVP was found dead with a gunshot wound to his head. Police do not yet know the circumstances surrounding the shootings.

The condominium where the bodies were found is one that McNair has been seen at before, but police spokeswoman Kristin Mumford said she didn’t know if he was the owner.

He played for the Houston Oilers, Tennessee Titans and Baltimore Ravens, and was selected to the Pro Bowl three times. He was the co-NFL MVP in 2003 with the Indianapolis Colts’ Peyton Manning.

McNair led the Titans to the Super Bowl after the 1999 season, where the team lost to the St. Louis Rams 23-16. Receiver Kevin Dyson caught McNair’s final pass with no time remaining and was tackled with the ball inside the 1-yard line.

The thoughts and prayers  go out to the family of Steve McNair, especially his wife Mechelle and his four sons Junior, Steven, Tyler, and Trenton.
