    Nashville news station NewsChannel5 is contradicting CNN, stating that the condo was one that McNair was renting, not the female. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

    Local news is saying the condo belonged to a friend of McNair and that he often used it while he was in town so it will be interesting to see what happens with the CNN story and just how this all plays out. They are also saying his wife is at their home in Green Hills and hasn't heard from him in several days? A friend of mine saw him out at Losers last night in midtown. Such a sad story all around.

    A few things i find weird (though no conspiracy theories here):
    1) there were apparently at least 3 gunshots fired in the wee hours of the morning on a holiday weekend in an apartment complex downtown and no one called anything in to the police? Dozens of people had to have heard the shots

    2) Along those lines, why did the dude that found the bodies call a common friend first, rather than the police or anyone else?

    3) Is it not normally policy for the police to record the names of passengers in a DUI case? Why did they omit McNair from the original report and just let him take a cab home?

    1 - I know that at least in my experience, people in my neighborhood were shooting off fireworks all night long on the 3rd/morning of the 4th. I was at a friend's house in East Nashville and they were making jokes along the lines of "at least we know it's fireworks tonight and not gunshots." Due to the timing it's possible that they were heard but assumed to be fireworks.

    2 & 3 - No idea other than the details that have already been released... to point #3 they have repeatedly said that McNair was not found to be in violation of the law and was allowed to leave, with not much else explained. I'm not sure if he was omitted from the original report or if that information was just not conveyed to the press until later in the investigation.

    More details about Steve McNair's death are surfacing. The woman also found dead in the condo with him, Sahel Kazemi, is indeed looking like she was his mistress/girlfriend. Pictures have surfaced of the two on a romantic vacation ...

    that 911 call is stressful to listen to, it took such a long time for the dispatcher to get that info on his location
