More details are emerging regarding the accidental self-shooting of Giants receiver Plaxico Burress.
Per the New York Post, Burress was confronted by security guards at a Manhattan night club, and Burress admitted that he had a loaded gun in his possession.
He went to a secure area with one of the guards, and Burress began to unload the gun while drinking wine. Burress then began to bobble the weapon, and that’s when it fired a bullet through his thigh.
Burress stopped security personnel from calling an ambulance. A friend took him to a local hospital.
Meanwhile, Taco Bill has uncovered a surveillance photo of Burress and his companions moments before the incident.

He just needs to learn that dance, that you know, Jason David performed. He doesn’t have to nail it, after all, he has a hole through his thigh.

The line “sure-handed wideout” made me question the level of journalistic professionism of the reports, but then again, it’s the NY Post….

No ambulance, no cops… sounds like he’ll get out of it. I think as the details come out this story will get funnier.

Catching a bullet from Eli’s easy…
Other than that seems you need to take a class.
Be happy… You got lucky.

It’s fortunate that the bullet didn’t hit an area that could’ve been more serious (or fatal) and that it didn’t hit some other person.

Reminds me of that DEA agent that tells schoolkids “i’m the only one here authorized to use this weapon” and then shoots himself in the foot with a Glock .40.

That picture is an instant classic for anyone who has seen 8 Mile. I actually thought of that when I heard about this.

According to ESPN the gun slipped down his right pant leg and when he went to retrieve it he pulled the trigger. No mention of unloading it unless he was planning on doing it one shot at a time.
