“I’m lucky and blessed to be alive,” Santana told NBC 6 in Miami.

Santana and another man were shot in the arm, while a third was hit in the hand.

Santana and his friends had just left The Office Gentlemen’s Club. Santana, who is openly gay, said he might have been targeted because of the “type of artist” that he is.
