Running Back Zurlon Tipton played 16 games in the NFL with the Colts and sadly passed away today after accidentally shooting himself to death.
The man who accidentally shot himself earlier Tuesday at a Roseville car dealership has died, Roseville Police tell FOX 2. The Wayne County Medical Examiner has identified the victim as former NFL player Zurlon Tipton.
Police say the customer pulled into a service bay at the dealership around 9:30 a.m., and went to take a duffel bag out of his trunk. The duffel bag had two guns inside, police say, and one of the guns accidentally went off and Tipton was struck in the stomach.
He was able to speak to people after he shot himself, but died a short time later.
