Good morning, Kathy.

Good morning.

In the news this morning, former Boston Red Sox letter, David Ortiz, is hospitalized following surgery for a gunshot wound after being ambushed by a man in a bar and his native Dominican authority said.

Dominican National Police Director, said Ortiz was at the digital bar and lounge in Santa Domingo around 8.50 p.m. Sunday evening when a gunman approached from behind and shot him at close range.

Ortiz was taken to the Abel Gonzalez Clinic where he underwent surgery and his condition was

stable. Ortiz's father, Leo, speaking to reporters outside the clinic, said that his son was out of

danger and there wasn't any collateral damage, meaning no damage to major organs.

He said that he had no idea why someone would have shot his son.

The Boston Red Sox in a statement early Monday said they have been notified by the Ortiz family

that he sustained a gunshot wound to his lower back abdominal region and that he is recovering after

surgery. The Red Sox said they offered the Ortiz family all available resources to aid in his

recovery and they will

continue to keep them in their hearts.

The alleged gunman was captured and beaten by a crowd of people at the bar.

Police are waiting until the man undergoes treatment for his injuries before they are

questioning him.

I hadn't seen this video footage. Nick just pulled this up right now.

He's literally just sitting, doing nothing.

You see a guy come into the frame and just shoots him right in the back.
