‘He has not once looked for pity’: David Ortiz’s daughter thankful for support, promotes positivity after shooting

Days after David Ortiz was shot in the Dominican Republic, his daughter, Alexandria Ortiz, took to social media Wednesday to express her gratitude for the support her family has received while her father recovers.

“I would like to formally thank everyone who has reached out so kindly to feed us, transport us, and support us,” Alexandria Ortiz wrote in an Instagram post. “Those who have extended prayers, thoughts, and love, I thank you.”

Authorities say the former Red Sox slugger was shot Sunday night at a Santo Domingo bar in an assassination attempt. As of Wednesday, six people, including the alleged gunman, had been arrested.
