TOTOWA, N.J. — The bloody pants Plaxico Burress wore when he accidentally shot himself last month, plus a handgun, a rifle and an assortment of ammunition, were seized Tuesday by authorities from the home of the Giants receiver.
In addition to a 9-mm handgun, a .30-06-caliber rifle and the ammunition, including a clip for a .45 gun, police also said they recovered the sneakers Burress wore during the accidental shooting.
Investigators are trying to determine whether the weapons are registered, so it is unclear whether Burress will face additional charges. Burress faces two felony gun-possession charges following the accidental shooting at a Manhattan nightclub Nov. 29.
Benjamin Brafman, the receiver’s criminal attorney, said Wednesday he did not know whether Burress would face additional charges.
