Retired Red Sox slugger David Ortiz was shot and wounded at an amusement center in his hometown of Santo Domingo on Sunday, according to reports.

Ortiz’s father Leo confirmed the report to Enrique Rojas of ESPN. There was no update on Ortiz’s condition.

“They called me to tell me that David is injured and that they took him to a medical center, but they did not tell me how he is or exactly where he was transferred,” Leo Ortiz told Rojas.

This is what we know: David Ortiz was shot at a club/rest. in Santo Domingo; was taken to a local clinic. An attending doctor told our colleague the bullet hit him in the lower back, went through-and-through. He’s currently in surgery; doctors say he’s out of danger.

  1. The Dominican Republic has an unusual approach to tourist development lately. Every other day we’re hearing about a rape, murder, attempted murder, muggings and theft. That’s going to be a magnet for those looking for an exotic vacation.
