NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Nashville police say the shooting death of former NFL quarterback Steve McNair is a homicide. However, authorities have stopped short of saying it was a murder-suicide committed by the 20-year-old girlfriend found dead by his side.

A police spokesman says McNair was shot four times and companion Sahel Kazemi was killed by a single gunshot. The pistol was found under her body, according to the spokesman, who also said the two had been in a "dating relationship for several months."

Police say they need to do more interviews with friends of Kazemi and
McNair before they rule on whether her death was a suicide.

The four-time Pro Bowl selection was married with four children. He and Kazemi were found dead Saturday afternoon at a Nashville condominium he shared with a friend.
