Carl Landry was shot in the lower left calf early Tuesday morning near downtown Houston. He was treated and released at Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center and is expected to be out for one to three weeks.

Landry has been struggling to sleep since the incident and constantly thinking about the incident.

"I could have been dead," Landry said. "The shooter was 10 yards or less away. I’m 6-9 and I had a bright shirt on. I don’t know how he missed, but thank God he did and he hit the lower part of my leg. Yeah, definitely, I could have been dead. And you guys … would be talking about the funeral that you were probably going to go to in a couple of days. I’m blessed and lucky to be alive."
