Television host Jhoel Lopez was with Ortiz at the time and also suffered a bullet wound, according to his wife.

"They were both on their backs. It was very fast," she said. "He doesn't remember much because he was also in shock from the bullet wound. But thank God he is stable."

CNN reports that multiple suspects have been detained, one of whom is in hospital after bystanders attacked him.
