DEVELOPING: Former NFL quarterback Steve McNair was killed Saturday in a shooting in Nashville.
A medical examiner confirmed to local FOX affiliate WZTV that McNair was found dead after police responded to a shooting in the city, though the circumstances of the shooting weren't immediately clear, as Nashville police continue to investigate.
McNair, 36, played 13 seasons in the NFL, most of them with the Tennessee Titans organization, which he joined when the team was still the Houston Oilers. He led the Titans to the Super Bowl in 2000, but lost the game to the St. Louis Rams.
Titans owner Bud Adams issued a brief statement Saturday, calling McNair "one of the finest players to play for our organization and one of the most beloved players by our fans. He played with unquestioned heart and leadership and led us to places that we had never reached, including our only Super Bowl."
McNair went to the Pro Bowl four times, and in 2003, he was named league co-MVP, along with Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning. McNair spent his final two years in the NFL with the Baltimore Ravens before retiring in 2008. - FOX News
