Dodger treated for minor gunshot wound
Vicente Padilla, who revived his career in the Dodgers' run to the National League Championship Series, was treated for a minor self-inflicted gunshot wound in his right leg at a hospital in his native Nicaragua on Tuesday, his agent Adam Katz said. Katz described the incident as a "hunting accident," saying that Padilla was grazed in his right thigh by a bullet. Katz said that Padilla spent 30 to 40 minutes at a hospital and was discharged.

There aren't that many professional athletes in the US. They seem to be over represented among those having gun mishaps. Perhaps a study is needed to find out why.

In the case of Padilla, perhaps an overabundance of hubris, free time and disposable personal income? I'm guessing of course.
