Former Ozzy Osbourne guitarist Jake E. Lee speaks out after being shot in Las Vegas.

He addressed his injuries in a lengthy Facebook post on Thursday morning.

“I deeply appreciate all the concern and well wishes. That makes everything a little better. To be clear: I was shot three times. I was on the way home from a walk with my dog ​​Coco (I didn't name him so please don't!) I don't want to go into details right now,” Lee wrote. “I’m tired, but I feel relatively happy.”

Lee, a veteran artist who worked with Osbourne and founded the bands Badlands and Red Dragon Cartel, was shot multiple times early Tuesday while walking his dog in Las Vegas.

He continued: “Police found 15 shell casings at the scene, meaning he fired his magazine at me. I could only dodge so many that a bullet went through my forearm, one through my foot and one in the back, breaking a rib and damaging a lung.

Ozzy Osbourne told TMZ that he hasn't seen Lee in 37 years, “but that doesn't change the shock of hearing what happened to him today.” It's just another senseless act of gun violence. I send him my thoughts” and his beautiful daughter Jade. I just hope he's okay.
