Jake E. Lee, a former guitarist for Ozzy Osbourne, was hospitalized on Tuesday after being shot multiple times in Las Vegas.
Lee was shot at around 2:40 a.m. on Tuesday and was taken to a hospital for treatment, the Las Vegas police said in an emailed statement. Authorities said its investigation into the shooting, which took place around 10 miles south of the strip, is ongoing and that no arrests have been made.
Amanda Cagan, Lee’s representative, confirmed the incident in a statement, saying the guitarist was walking his dog when the shooting happened. She said that Lee was conscious and “is expected to fully recover.”
“As the incident is under police investigation, no further comments will be forthcoming. Lee and his family appreciate respecting their privacy at this time,” the statement reads.
“By the grace of God, no major organs were hit, he’s fully responsive, and expected to make a full recovery,” Tim Heyne, manager for Lee’s rock band Red Dragon Cartel, told The Associated Press.
