Jake E. Lee, former guitarist of Ozzy Osbourne, was shot multiple times in a shootout in Las Vegas early Tuesday morning (15). The 67-year-old musician was hospitalized in intensive care.
Jake’s representative said he was struck accidentally while walking his dog in the morning. The incident is under investigation by the police.
“Lee is fully conscious and recovering well in an intensive care unit at a Las Vegas hospital,” his representative told the Dailymail.
His former bandmate, Ozzy Osbourne, told TMZ that he “hopes he will be okay.” Lee’s family has not made further comments, as the case is already under investigation.
