Prior to the shootings, Kazemi had purchased a gun and had reportedly told friends that McNair planned on leaving his wife for her.http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/football/nfl/07/06/mcnair.ap/index.html

In the months following the incident, doubts have been raised about the Nashville police department's investigation. CBS News has discovered that Kazemi's relationship with the man who sold her the gun used in the murder-suicide was much more extensive than known by the police.http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/10/20/earlyshow/main5400356.shtml
