Former pro-baseball player Jose' Conseco shoots off finger while cleaning his freedom protecting handgun.
Las Vegas police were called to the home of former Major League Baseball outfielder Jose Canseco on Tuesday afternoon after an accidental shooting.
Police said Canseco accidentally shot himself in the hand and was transported to University Medical Center in Las Vegas.
Officers said he was cleaning his handgun and didn't realize it was loaded. The gun went off, badly injuring one of the fingers on his left hand.
His fiance leila Knight spoke with KTNV-TV Channel 13 Action News on Tuesday evening, and said she was in the kitchen when she heard the shot. She told Action News that Canseco visited the gun range last week and forgot there was still a bullet left in the gun.
It is not known if Canseco's finger had to be amputated. He was released from the hospital early Wednesday morning.
You probably all know Conseco best for his tell all book about his steroid use and rock star lifestyle.
Gee he drove a sports car, used steroids, AND carries a gun with him everywhere he goes.
Really working hard to resist the urge to state the obvious.
But hey don't forget, the only thing that stops a bad finger, is a good finger on the trigger of a gun.
