Report: Burress to surrender to police

NEW YORK, Nov. 30 (UPI) -- New York Giants star Plaxico Burress, who apparently shot himself in the leg, will surrender to police Monday, The (Newark, N.J.) Star-Ledger reported.

Burress was hospitalized after the apparent accidental weekend shooting at a New York nightclub. He will report to the New York Police Department's 17th precinct, the newspaper said. No warrant had been issued for his arrest, The Star-Ledger said Sunday.

Police sources said Burress might face felony weapons charges, the New York Daily News reported.

An attorney representing the NFL receiver was trying to avoid charges being brought against his client, police sources said.

A police spokesman said the bullet entered Burress's thigh but did not strike bone.

The Daily News quoted its sources as saying the shooting occurred when Burress attempted to retrieve a handgun that had fallen down his pants leg.
