“There was an agreement that I would walk one way and they would walk the opposite. That didn’t work out”: Jake E Lee says he was shot after confronting thieves
Jake E Lee has written another update on his recovery after being shot during a walk with his dog earlier this month (15 October) in Las Vegas.
Lee, who played guitar for Ozzy Osbourne between 1982 and 1987, was shot multiple times, and says he is now back home recuperating following a stay in hospital. He was originally being treated in an intensive care unit.

For the first time since the incident, Lee has gone into further detail on what happened during the ordeal. Writing on his Red Dragon Cartel band Facebook page, alongside a picture of his dog, Lee states, “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 neighbour’s driveway checking out his motorcycle.”
He adds, “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!”
Thank you again for all your concern. A quick update: back home recuperating. A big thanks to those at Sunrise Hospital…

Police investigations are ongoing at the time of writing. In a statement given to TMZ, Ozzy Osbourne shared his well wishes for Lee: “It’s been 37 years since I’ve seen Jake E. Lee, but that still doesn’t take away from the shock of hearing what happened to him today. It’s just another senseless act of gun violence. I send my thoughts to him and his beautiful daughter, Jade. I just hope he’ll be OK.” Lee is expected to make a full recovery.
