Former WR Morgan accidentally shoots himself

Former San Francisco 49ers WR Josh Morgan did just that, he shot himself with his own gun and to add insult to injury, he got charged with a crime afterwards. I don’t have a punchline for that, because it’s impossible to come up with something funnier than that sentence.

According to TMZ Sports, the incident occurred on the evening of January 31, when police officers in an unspecified part of Virginia responded to a report that a man had a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Morgan was charged with misdemeanor reckless use of a firearm in Virginia, TMZ reports. Morgan suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to a nearby hospital, according to Loudoun County Sheriff Office records. He had to be hospitalized as a result.

Plaxico Burress, you now have some company. Or a knife. Or really anything sharp. He was signed by the New Orleans Saints prior to the 2015 season but did not make the team.
