One of the survivors of the kidnapping of four Americans in the Mexican border city of Matamoros was shot three times in the legs, his wife told CNN.
Michele Williams said she spoke with Eric Williams on the phone Tuesday morning when he was being transported to a hospital in Texas.
Williams is one of two Americans who survived a kidnapping on Friday in Matamoros, Mexico. Two others -- Shaeed Woodard and Zindell Brown -- were killed in the incident, which investigators believe was a case of mistaken identity.
Michele Williams said before receiving the call, the FBI stopped by her house at around 11 am local time to tell her about her husband's condition. Shortly after, her husband called her.
"I was just glad to hear his voice," she said.
Her husband told her that he was shot twice in one leg and once in the other, Williams said. He is expected to walk, she added.
Her husband was emotional when they spoke on the phone. He viewed the two Americans who did not survive the kidnapping as his "brothers," she said.
Michele and Eric Williams have an 11-year-old son together. She told CNN her son was happy to hear from his father.
