You'd think having to cover the Kansas City Royals was a pain in the ass as it is when ... BAM! A pellet-gun bullet straight to the face! Jesus, Emil! Watch where you point that thing!
From the Associated Press:
KMBC reporter Karen Kornacki was interviewing shortstop Tony Pena Junior before the game when she felt the pellet hit near her left eye, according to station assistant news director Gary Roberts. A Royals spokesman says [Emil] Brown didn't mean to shoot Kornacki, calling it an accident.
Kornacki ended the interview and left the locker room immediately. An assistant team trainer treated Kornacki and gave her an ice pack.
Unfortunately, Kornacki wasn't seriously injured by the stray pellet. I can only imagine she was looking forward to not having to watch another Royals' August. Please send your condolences here.
