KLAS-TV in Las Vegas is reporting that Jose Canseco was accidentally shot in his home:

 

A neighbor tells 8 News NOW former baseball star Jose Canseco was hurt in an accidental shooting Tuesday afternoon at his house on the eastside of the Las Vegas valley. Metro Police confirm there was an accidental shooting at the address, but would not confirm the former player was hurt. However, records show Canseco owns the home where the shooting happened.

 

His post-playing career has been nothing if not weird and random. Here’s hoping he’s OK, because weird and random is one thing, tragic is another, and no one wants that at all.

TMZ: Former major league slugger Jose Canseco blew his middle finger clear off his hand while cleaning his handgun at home in Las Vegas.

 

Jose's fiancée Leila Knight tells TMZ Sports ... he was sitting at a table in their home cleaning the gun when it went off. She says he didn't know it was loaded -- and the shot ripped through the middle finger on his left hand.

 

Leila tells us 50-year-old Canseco is in surgery right now as doctors desperately try to save what's left of the finger. She says the bullet tore through the bottom part of the finger and doctors have already said he'll never have full use of it again ... even under the best of circumstances.

Remember when he wanted to marry a Canadian woman to run for Toronto mayor? Ford vs. Canseco would have been a great battle.
