Former NFL running back Zurlon Tipton, who was only 26 years old, has passed away after a bizarre yet fatal accident occurred on Tuesday.
Tipton, who previously played for the Indianapolis Colts in 2014 and 2015, was at a car dealership in Roseville, Michigan earlier today and went to grab his duffel bag out of the trunk. Inside of his bag, there were two guns, and as he was trying to move things around, one of the guns accidentally went off and the bullet hit Tipton in the stomach.
At first, it appeared that he was going to be okay, as he was talking to people and seemed to be stable on the way to the hospital. However, his condition worsened as the day went on and he sadly did not make it.
Tipton leaves behind a young daughter. Condolences to his family and friends.
