"He's fine," Katz said.
News reports out of Nicaragua stated that Padilla was hurt at a shooting range. At least two news outlets reported that Padilla was accidentally shot by his "escort," who was trying to fix Padilla's malfunctioning gun.

Think his "escort" will get 20 months in the pen?? As much as I dislike Plax, I still think he got worked bad in NY.

Au contraire, Padilla was an all star in 2002 with the Philadelphia Phillies.

If I had to make one guess for an athlete that was shot in Nicaragua, it would be Padilla.
