Washington [US], October 18 (ANI): Jake E Lee, known for being Ozzy Osbourne’s guitarist, who was shot multiple times in Las Vegas on October 15, shared an update about his condition on social media, reported People.
He took to the Red Dragon Cartel Facebook page to share an update on his condition.
“I deeply appreciate all the concern and well wishes. Makes everything going on a little better,” Lee wrote. “To clarify, I was shot three times. I was on my way back home from walking my dog Coco (I didn’t name him so don’t!) Don’t want to go into details now, I’m tired, but I feel relatively very lucky.”
According to Lee, police officers found 15 shell casings around the crime scene, indicating the suspect “emptied his clip” on the musician.
“I could only dodge so many, so one bullet went through my forearm, one through my foot, and one in the back which broke a rib and damaged a lung. Priority now is to keep draining my lung till it’s done crying. Then we can pull that tube out and concentrate on the more minor injuries,” Lee stated.
He also updated about his pet, saying that his beloved dog is doing fine. “Coco’s fine and appreciates your inquiries!” Lee wrote.
