David Ortiz Not The Intended Target, Accused Shooter Claims From Jail
BOSTON (CBS/AP) – The man accused of shooting David Ortiz said the Red Sox legend was not his intended target.
Rolfy Ferreyra Cruz spoke to reporters briefly from his holding cell in the Dominican Republic Thursday. According to CBS News reporter Mola Lenghi in the Dominican, Cruz appeared to indicate he didn't realize it was Ortiz when he fired the shot.
In cell phone video obtained by WBZ-TV from the Dominican newspaper Diario Libre, a reporter asked Cruz – who was the target of the shooting?
"Wasn't David," Cruz said in Spanish.
"So then who was it?" the reporter replied.
"Someone else. Was confusing. I was told the clothing color, nothing else, I didn't see him."
