AceShowbiz - Jake E. Lee, former guitarist for Ozzy Osbourne, is recovering after being shot three times in a random attack in Las Vegas. On Tuesday, October 15, renowned guitarist Jake E. Lee fell victim to a random shooting while walking his dog near his Las Vegas home.

After the incident, Lee kept in touch with his pal and expressed his gratitude for surviving the attack, saying, "I am one lucky mother**ker." He was shot in the forearm, the back, and the foot, but has since been placed in intensive care and is expected to make a full recovery.

Lee's friend, D.J. Ashba of Guns N' Roses, shared a text exchange with the guitarist on Instagram, where Lee expressed his optimism and joked about his birthday celebration.

Las Vegas authorities believe the shooting was a random act of street crime. No arrests have been made, and the investigation is ongoing.

Lee's former bandmate, Ozzy Osbourne, expressed his shock and sympathy. "It's just another senseless act of gun violence," Osbourne said in a statement. "I send my thoughts to him and his beautiful daughter, Jade. I just hope he'll be ok."

Lee played guitar in Osbourne's band from 1982 to 1987, appearing on the albums "Bark at the Moon" and "The Ultimate Sin." He has also released three solo albums and worked with other bands, including Badlands, Ratt, Rough Cutt, and Dio.

In recent years, Lee had been playing with his band Red Dragon Cartel, but had been focusing on pain management due to a lack of cartilage in his right hand.
