“The police found 15 shell casings at the scene which means he emptied his clip on me.”

Metal Sludge — In a new update regarding the recent Jake E. Lee shooting the latest comes from the victim himself.
Lee took to the official Red Dragon Cartel Facebook page for only the 3rd time this calendar year and only the 2nd time in nearly 9 months with some details that are down right crazy.
The former Ozzy guitarist posted an update on early October 17th 2024 about the Las Vegas shooting incident that landed him in ICU.
Lee‘s post shares a few details about the shooting that happened a day earlier and the most shocking part, is that the shooter is believed to have unloaded more than a dozen shots in what can only be considered an attempt to kill the guitarist.
Lee tells readers on Facebook: “Checking. Is this on? Been awhile since I posted here. Let’s see: I deeply appreciate all the concern and well wishes. Makes everything going on a little better.”
“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.” adds Lee.
The next part of his post is what seems most troubling, when the guitarist states: “The police found 15 shell casings at the scene which means he emptied his clip on me.”
The number of shell casings is definitely beyond troubling, and like Lee says in his post, he is definitely very lucky to have survived this event.
Lee continues: “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 finalizes his post with an update on his dog: “And by the way, Coco’s fine and appreciates your inquiries!”
