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.
What a dipshit.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, when I heard it I had to snicker a little...dumbshit.
DeleteHis finance or GF or "shiny object" said his finger was hanging by a "string" (Its called a tendon dear)
It sounded like it will have to amputated and I guess he will have to b/c a sports announcer or something.
Good thing there were no kids around...
The Atlantic has a article about him Geeze what a looser.

It will be worse now.
Expect to hear more bad news about him in the future.
I guess I must have had superior pistol training. There is no way on God's Green Earth that I would EVER not completely check my weapon before and after each use to ensure the weapon is safe. At least it was his own flesh and not someone else.
ReplyDeleteI hope it was his trigger finger.
ReplyDeleteGryphen ..you missed best part of story ... his girlfriend tweeted and asked folks to PRAY for his finger ... LMFAO
ReplyDelete"This is Leila . Thank you all for the kind words and prayers . Jose is in still surgery and will be ok. Please pray for his finger!"

DeleteYes she is one "Shiny" dim-bulb!
And yes to the rest of your post!
She's going to miss his finger - yep it's one of the big ones, right Jose Stumpy?
DeleteAnd, of course, her name is Leila.
DeleteNot on subject, but Gryphen did you know that here in Oklahoma I get an ad from the ultraloony Jim Inhofe on your blog?
ReplyDeleteWell, he wasn't using it anymore...
ReplyDeleteDidn't this dingbat have a ball bounce off his head when he played for Oakland? My memory is a little fuzzy on this but I seem to remember that.I think it went for a home run.
ReplyDeleteYep, 2:18. That was Hozay (Can you see?) Canseco. But it happened later in his career when he was with the Texas Rangers that he head-butted the ball over the fence. It's onYouTube, I'm sure. He's an idiot.
DeleteWhat a stoonado! Next headline: "Conseco gives Winecooler the finger"
ReplyDeleteThat's too funny! I don't follow baseball so I didn't know who he was but what a story, roids, guns and manliness gone wrong. Wow, baseball seems fun, perhaps I should take up the habit? The only thing baseball has ever meant to me is that there are a large amount of games that happen in the fall that totally screw up the TV schedule.
