Santa Claus had to be taken to the hospital after he was shot.
"Oh yes, Merrrryyyyy," he said as he waved to people in the community - and then he was hit before he could say "Christmas."
He spun around after the shocking incident and grabbed his back.
He started grunting in pain and kneeled over.
"Ahhhh. Something's in my back. My back, my back," he said as he tried to keep up a good face.
The victim was treated at the scene by paramedics and taken to a local hospital.
Police were looking for a shooter in a second-story window.
