9 Suspects In Ortiz Shooting Could Spend Next Year In Prison

Nine suspects indicted Friday night could spend up to a year in prison while the investigation into David Ortiz's shooting continues, prosecutors said. A 10th person reportedly turned himself in Friday.

The man accused of shooting Ortiz Sunday night reportedly said Ortiz wasn't the target the what authorities said was an orchestrated hit on the Red Sox legend. Rolfi Ferreira Cruz said he was confused about what color clothes his target was wearing.

The prosecutor's office rejected Ferreira Cruz's statement.

More information about the shooting - including the motive and who was behind it - could come out next week, prosecutors said.

Ortiz was shot Sunday night in his hometown of Santo Domingo, the Dominican capital. Police said he was shot once in the back in close range. He was rushed to a Dominican hospital and flown to Massachusetts General Hospital Monday night after the Boston Red Sox arranged an air ambulance transport.

Ortiz, who suffered significant organ damage, was in "guarded condition" in the intensive care unit at MGH, his wife, Tiffany Ortiz, said in a statement Thursday afternoon. Ortiz has spoken to family, sat up and taken some steps in recent days.
