Many questions still remain in the recent death of football star Steve McNair but investigators now know that Sahel Kazemi bought the gun used to murder McNair and Kazemi.

Kazemi bought the semi-automatic pistol Thursday evening from a person Nashville police have not named. The purchase was made the same day she was bailed out of jail by McNair for a DUI charge. 48 hours later both were found dead.

Kazemi was not old enough to carry or even purchase a handgun legally. The person who sold the gun is not in custody and may not be charged because the seller may not have been aware Kazemi was under 21, police said.

After questioning several people close to both victims, police said they are still far from a motive but learning more about the dating relationship between Kazemi and McNair.

I am still in as much shock now as I was the day I heard about this terrible tragedy. This week has been such a blur after losing so many famous people. Even though I don’t agree with the cheating McNair did, it will not change how I perceived him as an athlete. We tend to think and see these people as superior people who do no wrong but the sad truth is that they are normal people just blessed with a gift of playing a game.
