Former Red Sox slugger David Ortiz shot at close to point-blank range in ambush in Dominican Republic
Former Red Sox slugger David Ortiz was in stable condition Monday after he was shot in the back while at a bar in his native Dominican Republic, according to authorities.
Video shows bystanders attack a person they believed attacked Ortiz, serving him swift kicks to the head as he sits on the ground. The suspected gunman was captured, while another assailant got away, de Leon said. “We have offered David’s family all available resources to aid in his recovery and will continue to keep them in our hearts,” the statement said.
"He is out of surgery and stable. He is resting," Leo Ortiz said."’Big Papi’ will be around for a long time."
