NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Tennessee state officials say they had
been preparing a youth suicide prevention public service
announcement featuring former NFL quarterback Steve McNair before
he was shot and killed last week.
The Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Developmental
Disabilities says it's shelving the 60-second television spot,
which hasn't yet aired.
The department issued a statement Thursday saying "broadcasting
it now is not only inappropriate but doesn't serve the community."
Department spokeswoman Jill Hudson said McNair taped the spot in
April, and producers had been doing post-production work in hopes
of using the announcement sometime this year.
Police say a 20-year-old girlfriend of McNair's shot and killed
him on July 4 before killing herself in Nashville.
