Two Giants Stars Could Face Arrest After Shooting

Posted Nov 30th 2008 6:28AM by TMZ Staff

Plaxico BurressNY Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress may be arrested on felony gun charges after shooting himself in a NYC club this weekend, and his teammate could be charged with trying to cover it up.

Burress went to the Latin Quarter nightclub but was initially turned away, according to the New York Daily News. But the paper says club management had a change of heart after Burress came back, "flashing jewelry and carrying loads of cash," reportedly telling management he needed the gun for protection.

According to the Daily News, Burress was being taken into a VIP area when he fumbled with the gun as it began slipping down his pant leg. The gun fired, and the bullet tore through his leg.

According to the paper Burress told his teammate Antonio Pierce not to call 911. Pierce then reportedly helped Burress out of the club and they allegedly 86'd the gun somewhere in New Jersey.

The Daily News claims Burress tried hard to cover it all up, but the plan was foiled after a Giants employee called the NYPD and reported the incident.

5. Boy, I'd sure bet claling the NYPD made things so much better....yeah they probably got to the bottom of the accident and made all sorts of points breasting about trying to collect "the facts" so they could determine who to throw in the can and lock up for something stupid.
Whoever called the cops is an idiot.

14. Hey Kelli....look on the bright side.......Jerry Jones probably has a contract all ready for Burress to sign to join HIS Dallas Convicts since they LOVE trouble makers and felons.

15. Gigitty that comment you made was just as dumb as him carrying the gun, I want to know what he was thinking going out to a club knowing he wasn't playing on Sunday cause he had a leg problem.
