NEW YORK -LRB- CNN -RRB- -- A New York hospital worker was suspended for failing to report the gunshot wound of NFL star Plaxico Burress , a hospital spokeswoman told CNN Monday . New York Giants receiver Plaxico Burress arrives at the 17th police precinct in Manhattan on Monday . The spokeswoman , Kathy Robinson , gave no further detail on the New York Presbyterian Hospital employee . `` We can confirm that the individual at New York Presbyterian Hospital , who was responsible for failing to report the incident , has been suspended , '' hospital spokeswoman Robinson said . Burress has garnered media attention recently for accidentally shooting himself with a gun he is accused of bringing into a crowded New York night club . New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg slammed Burress on Monday , saying it would be an `` outrage '' if the Giants receiver is n't prosecuted `` to the fullest extent of the law '' after the shooting with a gun that authorities say he owned illegally . Burress , 31 , was arraigned Monday on two counts of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree . He could face up to 15 years in prison , the Manhattan district attorney 's office said . Alicia Maxey Greene , spokeswoman for the district attorney , said Burress is not expected to enter a plea until a court appearance in March . Burress ' attorney , Benjamin Brafman , said he expects Burress to plead not guilty . Bloomberg , speaking at a news conference , made clear he wants Burress to face jail time . Noting a law that automatically sentences an offender to at least 3 1/2 years for illegally carrying a loaded handgun , Bloomberg said , `` It 's pretty hard to argue the guy did n't have a gun and it was n't loaded . You 've got bullet holes in and out to show that it was there . '' The mayor also lashed out at New York Presbyterian Hospital for failing to inform police about the incident . He called on the state attorney general to `` go after '' the hospital for a `` chargeable offense . '' The district attorney 's office said the hospital is under investigation . The hospital said it also is investigating the incident and promised to cooperate with authorities . In the incident Friday night , Burress suffered a wound to his right thigh and was treated and released from the hospital , the Giants said in a statement released over the weekend . Sports Illustrated reported that Burress had accidentally shot himself with a gun he was carrying while at Latin Quarter , a sprawling nightclub in Manhattan . Brafman said his client `` understands the seriousness of the situation , and he 's addressing it in a responsible fashion . '' Brafman also said Burress is `` physically OK and mentally OK . '' He added that he does not know when Burress may be back on the field . Bloomberg , who has long fought against illegal gun ownership , said public figures `` make their living because of their visibility . They are the role models for our kids , and if we do n't prosecute them , to the fullest extent of the law , I do n't know who on Earth we would . It makes a sham , a mockery of the law . '' Turning his ire to New York Presbyterian Hospital , which treated Burress , Bloomberg said officials `` did n't do what they 're legally required to do '' -- inform the authorities of the incident . `` It 's a misdemeanor . It 's a chargeable offense , and I think that the district attorney should certainly go after the management of this hospital . '' He also called on the hospital to fire those whose responsibility it was to alert the authorities . And Bloomberg added , `` I would question why the management did n't have training in place and did n't discipline them immediately . It 's just an outrage . '' The hospital later Monday afternoon issued a statement acknowledging that `` not reporting a gunshot wound is a clear violation of our policies and procedures . '' `` We take this very seriously , and are conducting a thorough investigation into why this gunshot wound was not reported to the police department in a timely fashion . Appropriate disciplinary action will be taken . We are in full cooperation with the mayor 's office and the police department , '' it said . Bloomberg also complained that the Giants `` should have picked up the phone right away as good corporate citizens . I do n't care whether there 's a legal responsibility for them to do it . They are a team that is here in this region . I know they 're in New Jersey , but it 's the New York Giants , and they have a responsibility as a team that depends on the public and wants to be role models to the public . '' The mayor said police learned about the incident from a TV report . But team spokeswoman Pat Hanlon , in an e-mail to CNN , wrote , `` We are working closely with the police and NFL security . In the early hours of Saturday morning , as we started to get a sense of what we were dealing with , we did , in fact , notify NFL security , which then contacted the police . '' Over the weekend , the Giants issued a statement saying they were `` in contact with Plaxico since shortly after the incident , '' and that their primary concern was for his health and well-being . The team said it had contacted NFL security and was working to gather more details . The shooting was the latest bump in a rocky season for Burress , who became a hero of last season 's Super Bowl when he caught the game-winning touchdown pass from quarterback Eli Manning with 35 seconds remaining . He was fined and suspended from the team 's October 5 game for reportedly missing a practice without notifying the team . Later , he was fined $ 45,000 by the NFL after an October 19 game during which he argued with a referee and threw a football into the stands . He injured a hamstring in a game two weeks ago and was not scheduled to play in the Giants ' game on Sunday . CNN 's Laurie Segall , Elianne Friend , Kristen Hammill and Cheryl Robinson contributed .
