According to reports from NewsChannel5 in Nashville, former Tennessee NFL QB Steve McNair has been shot and killed.
Police said McNair suffered a fatal gunshot wound to the head in an apartment as part of a double-homicide in downtown Nashville.
The reports say a female victim was also killed.
McNair was a first round pick of the Oilers in 1995 and played with the Houston/Tennessee franchises from 1995-2005 before being traded to Baltimore, where he spent two seasons.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the McNair family and to the family of the other victim.
UPDATE: Titans owner Bud Adams released this statement regarding McNair: "He played with unquestioned heart and leadership and led us to places that we had never reached, including our only Super Bowl."
