"I'm thankful I'm blessed because I'm alive," said Logan.
He was working as a security guard at "California Bar" near Southwest 29th and Portland.
"I look to my peripheral and I see him. I look at his arm and I see his gun," said Logan. "I got hit twice. Once right here and once here, I mean, I was blessed."
Logan said he remembers his alleged shooter from the night before.
"He was part of the DJ's entourage, but he was harassing a lady that worked there. I said 'It's time to go,' was passive with him. He swung on me and I put him down," said Logan.
When he arrived to work the next day, Logan said his manager told him the bar owner received a phone call from the same man he told to leave the club.
"He was just notified that she got a phone call the night before from the people saying that 'don't let me come to work, something is going to happen,'" said Logan.
From that moment on, Logan had little time to react.
"10,15 minutes later, dude walked up and shot me," said Logan.
Still recovering from two gunshot wounds to the stomach, Logan remains traumatized but grateful.
"I'm just thankful and just as grateful that nobody else was shot and people went home safely," said Logan. "My car got repossessed, I'm about to move out of my apartment now. Just a lot of things. There's a lot of things that just should have been handled differently."
OKCPD said they are still looking for the suspect, if you have any information, give them a call.
