Baseball player Jose Canseco accidentally shoots himself
Former major league outfielder was cleaning his gun when it fired, according to police.
Jose Canseco was cleaning his gun when it went off Tuesday afternoon, nearly severing his finger, according to the Associated Press. The major league outfielder is undergoing surgery after the incident at University Medical Center of Southern Nevada.
According to reports, the finger will either have to be amputated fully or undergo full reconstructive surgery. Doctors have purportedly already told the couple the retired slugger will never regain full use of his left hand.
Jose Canseco played for several teams from 1985 to 2001. In 2005, he admitted to using anabolic steroids and claimed a large majority of other players did the same. He would later work on the reality show “Celebrity Apprentice“.
