Details Emerge in McNair Slaying

If you happened to successfully wade through the incessant media coverage of MJ's memorial services and Sarah Palin's "quitting-so-I'm-not-a-quitter" resignation, you may have seen that the police have released several details about the slaying of ex-NFL quarterback Steve McNair:

• McNair was shot four times: twice in the head and twice in the chest;
• McNair's girlfriend, Sahel Kazemi, also was fatally shot once in the head;
• The semiautomatic pistol found at the scene was lying underneath Kazemi's body, and was purchased by her two nights before the killings;
• Kazemi and McNair -- married father of four -- were pulled over late Thursday night, hours before she reportedly purchased the gun. Police charged her with a DUI; Kazemi reportedly told officers that she had been "high" from a "hookah situation;"
• Authorities do not believe that the crime scene had been "cleaned up" between the time of the shootings and the discovery of the bodies.
  

Hmmm. Although Kazemi's death has not yet been classified pending ballistics tests, it certainly appears to be a murder-suicide. If that proves to be true, this case would be highly unusual as intimate partner murder-suicides are far more commonly perpetrated by men against women, rather than the other way around. I will update as more details emerge. (P.S. This story makes me miss our former contributor The NY Kid, whose "beat" was stories about sports and crime. Shout out to you, Kid!)

P.S. Speaking of MJ, it only seems apropos for the GBOC to honor the King of Pop by...what else? Linking to his "Smooth Criminal" video.

Update: Just as we suspected.
