oh my - "Canseco accidentally shoots self"

http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/11782266/jose-canseco-accidentally-shoots-self-hand-police-say

Former MLB slugger Jose Canseco accidentally shot himself in the hand Tuesday afternoon, police told KTNV in Las Vegas.

The incident happened at Canseco's home, and he was taken to University Medical Center in Las Vegas for treatment, according to the report.

Canseco played 17 years in the major leagues, starring for the Oakland Athletics as one of the "Bash Brothers" in the late 1980s. He was part of the A's 1989 World Series championship team and last played for the Chicago White Sox in 2001.

He later admitted to performance-enhancing drug use, with his 2005 book, "Juiced: Wild Times, Rampant 'Roids, Smash Hits & How Baseball Got Big," amplifying MLB's doping issues.

I couldn't help wondering how you shoot yourself in the part of your body that usually is holding the gun.

Then I figured it out.
