A small cache of weapons and ammunition and the pants and sneakers that Plaxico Burress wore when he accidentally shot himself last month have been seized from the home of the New York Giants receiver, police said Wednesday.

Investigators are trying to determine whether the weapons are registered, so it is unclear whether Burress will face additional charges.
Burress was charged with two felony gun-possession charges following the accidental shooting at a Manhattan nightclub last month.
