Zurlon Tipton, 26, died after an accidental shooting at a Roseville, Michigan car dealership. On a Tuesday morning around 9:30 a.m., Tipton was moving a duffel bag from the trunk of his Jeep when a firearm stored inside discharged, striking him in the stomach. He was conscious and speaking at the scene and taken to a nearby hospital, but died during surgery. The bag contained two handguns.

Roseville police investigated and determined the shooting was accidental; no arrests were made and there were no suspects. Tipton, a Detroit native, played college football at Central Michigan University and spent two seasons in the NFL after signing with the Indianapolis Colts as an undrafted free agent. A few months before his death he had been arrested in Indiana on a charge of criminal recklessness with a deadly weapon after an incident in which a rifle was allegedly fired outside his girlfriend’s home.

Did anyone who knew Tipton or was at the dealership that morning see details about how the guns were stored in the bag?
