While the NFL world tries to catch its breath after hearing the shocking news of Steve McNair's death, further information surrounding the shooting is slowly trickling out.
Nashville Public Information Officer Don Aaron spoke to the media Saturday afternoon.
"We received a call of persons injured inside one of the condominiums. When police officers arrived in response to that call, we found two individuals that had been shot to death inside the residence: one female, one male. We now know that the male deceased is Steve McNair."
The female has been "tentatively identified." Once that identity is confirmed, police will notify her next of kin.
Local reports identifying the female victim were retracted quickly. WKRN-TV reports that the calls to police went out at 1:30 p.m. local time.
Don Aaron did not give many other details. He said the police didn't yet know the circumstances around the deaths, who was responsible, or when the deaths occurred.
No one is in custody in relation to the deaths.
Some people who were around the condo complex were taken to police headquarters for questioning to "see what they know, what they may have seen."
We'll continue to update McNair's story as we learn more.

Murder-suicide? An autopsy will determine if the suicide part was possible. I'm from Baltimore, and liked Steve when he was our QB. I was sorry to see im leave the Ravens. I feel for his friends and family. RIP, Steve.
I heard his wife and kids were spending the 4th in Mississippi.
all that is known is that she was a 20 year old white woman...and not his wife...he and his wife were separating...just a really sad story. RIP
reminds me of otis redding...
