Rock guitarist Jake E. Lee, who played with heavy metal heavyweight Ozzy Osbourne, was hospitalized early Tuesday morning after being shot “multiple times” in Las Vegas, a representative for the musician said in a statement to CNN.

“Lee is fully conscious and doing well in the intensive care unit at a hospital in Las Vegas. He is expected to make a full recovery,” the representative said.

The shooting occurred while Lee was walking his dog outside and is believed to be “completely random.”

According to a statement from the Las Vegas Metro Police Department, “Officers responded to a shooting incident in the 11000 block of Alora Street” at approximately 2:42 a.m. Tuesday.

“Officers arrived and located a male victim suffering from apparent gunshot wounds. “The man was transported to the hospital,” the statement said.

The investigation is ongoing and there have been no arrests at this time, police said.

Lee, 67, is a veteran rock guitarist who spent time playing with Osbourne in the 1980s.

Lee later formed the heavy metal group Badlands with former Black Sabbath members Ray Gillen and Eric Singer. In 2013 he founded his own band Red Dragon Cartel.

After news of the shooting broke, friends and fans took to social media on Tuesday to wish the musician a smooth recovery.

“I’m thinking about Jake E Lee and praying for him,” said Mark Strigl, who hosts an Ozzy Osbourne channel on SiriusXM.

“I wish my friend Jake E. Lee a full and lasting recovery,” Agent David Maida said in a post on X.

“I just heard about Jake E Lee. Glad to hear he’s doing well,” Night Ranger guitarist Brad Gillis said in a social media post on Tuesday. “My thoughts are with you, buddy!”

“Love and prayers to my buddy Jake E. Lee – get well soon bro,” musician Matt Gibson posted. “You got that!”
