Plaxico Burress Shoots Himself Accidentally


Posted by Dangelo Green

Giants receiver Plaxico Burress accidentally shot himself in the right thigh while at a Manhattan nightclub early Saturday, hours after he was deemed unfit to play in Sunday’s game at Washington because of a hamstring strain in the same leg.

Burress, who was with his teammate Antonio Pierce, was released from a New York City hospital Saturday afternoon and was staying at his home in Totowa, N.J. It was unclear how long the injury, which pierced skin and muscle tissue but avoided any bone or artery, would keep Burress out of the lineup.

“Obviously, our primary concern is for Plaxico’s health and well-being,” the Giants said in a statement released by Pat Hanlon, the team’s vice president for communications, “and given the circumstances, we are relieved to say he was released from a New York City hospital at approximately 2 p.m. today.”
