Police have ruled the shooting deaths of former NFL quarterback Steve McNair and 20-year-old Sahel Kazemi a murder-suicide.
Speaking at a press conference in Nashville, a police spokesman said the evidence concluded that Kazemi shot McNair four times and then turned the gun on herself.
Police said there is absolutely no evidence to suggest that a third party was involved.
McNair's death had earlier been labeled a homicide, but police awaited further tests and investigation before saying for sure what happened.
They believe he was asleep on a sofa when Kazemi shot him in the head. She then apparently shot him twice in the chest before shooting him again in the head and then shooting herself.
McNair was shot twice in the head and twice in the chest, while the 20-year-old Kazemi died from a single gunshot to the head. Under her body was a gun she had purchased less than two days before the killings.
Three of the shots that killed McNair were taken from a distance, but one of the shots to the temple came from just inches away.
The gun that killed Kazemi was in contact with her head when it discharged, medical examiner Bruce Levy said Tuesday.
The four-time Pro Bowl quarterback was being remembered Wednesday at the stadium where he played much of his career. The Tennessee Titans opened LP Field for fans to watch video highlights of McNair's 13-year NFL career, look at photos of the quarterback and had a book for them to write messages that will be given to the family.
