TOTOWA, N.J. (AP)—The bloody pants that 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 New York 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 that Burress wore during the accidental shooting during the three-hour search of the Super Bowl star’s Totowa home. Investigators are trying to determine whether the weapons are registered, so it is unclear whether Burress will face additional charges. Totowa police chief Robert Coyle said it would is hard to successfully prosecute someone if they have legally registered weapons in one state and stored them in New Jersey. Burress still faces two felony gun-possession charges following the accidental shooting at a Manhattan nightclub last month. Benjamin Brafman, the receiver’s criminal attorney, said Wednesday morning that he believed that only a registered rifle was taken from the home. He did not know whether Burress would face additional charges. “We have not had a chance to review this new information,” Brafman said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press on Wednesday morning. “When we do, we will have additional comment.” Burress was not at home during the search by Totowa police, four New York City detectives and a Brafman associate, Coyle said, adding the player’s wife was present. Brafman said his client was out of town but did not elaborate.
