Jake E. Lee Shot After Confronting Several Thieves In His Neighbourhood.

Jake E. Lee has issued an update on the incident that led to him being shot three times in Las Vegas, NV this past week.

While walking his dog this past Tuesday, October 15th, Lee came under gunfire and was shot three times. He was rushed to the hospital and has since gone home, with a full recovery expected.

An earlier report from Lee indicated that 15 shell casings were found at the scene of the incident, and the police are still investigating the shooting. In a report last week, Lee said a bullet traversed his forearm, another hit his foot, and another pierced his back, which broke a rib and consequently pierced one of his lungs.

In an update shared to social media today, October 20th, the 67-year-old musician, currently of the outfit the Red Dragon Cartel, and who has lent his talents to such works as Ozzy Osbourne’s “Bark At The Moon”, “The Ultimate Sin” and more, revealed that the shooting was seemingly precipitated by a confrontation between himself and several shady individuals in his neighborhood.

Lee said of that:

“Thank you again for all your concern. A quick update: back home recuperating. A big thanks to those at Sunrise Hospital for taking such good care of me. And some brief details about that night. Walking home from our walk Coco and I crossed paths with a couple of thieves. Dressed darkly, hoodies pulled down their faces and masks covering their mouths. Standing in a neighbor’s driveway checking out his motorcycle. There was a verbal confrontation which ended with an agreement that I would walk one way and they would walk the opposite. That didn’t work out. I’ll probably talk in more detail about it later but right now I can only comfortably do a little at a time. Let me look for another cute pic of Coco!”
