Managua, Nov 5 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Vicente Padilla has been shot in the leg. He is now recovering from a bullet wound in his leg after a shooting teacher supposedly shot him in the leg accidentally. However the reason of the shooting is still not clear, as Padilla’s agent Adam Katz claims instead that it was a ‘hunting accident.’ “He’s fine,” Katz said.

Dr. Eduardo Reguera said, “Padilla, who signed with the Dodgers in August, didn’t need surgery after spending time at Managua’s Metropolitan Hospital”.

Police spokesman Vilma Reyes said on Wednesday that, “Padilla’s pistol apparently jammed during a target shooting session late Tuesday”. He then handed over the malfunctioning pistol to his instructor who shot himself in the hand, as he didn’t know that there was a bullet already lodged in the chamber. The bullet, which hurt his instructor, also grazed Padilla’s leg.
