Video Shows the Moment David Ortiz Was Shot in a Dominican Bar

Shocking surveillance video of the moment former Red Sox star David Ortiz was shot in a bar has leaked from the Dominican Republic.

The grainy video shows the 43-year-old Ortiz and his party sitting at a table near the bar when a man slowly walks up behind the former MLB player, pulls out a pistol, and opens fire.

The Sox slugger then crumples to the ground as bar patrons scramble to get away from the scene.
