Jake E. Lee Breaks Silence on Shooting: “The Gun Was Tied to Two Previous Murders”

Rock legend Jake E. Lee, best known for his electrifying guitar work with Ozzy Osbourne, has shared a stunning update about the violent attack that nearly took his life. In a powerful Facebook post last week, Lee confirmed that the suspects responsible for his shooting have been captured—and revealed a chilling detail about the weapon used.

“The two that shot me have been caught and face sentencing next month,” Lee wrote. “The gun was tied to two previous murders, so my case is almost over. They’re going bye bye for a long time. On that happy thought, see ya on TV!”

The revelation that the firearm was linked to two prior homicides underscores the gravity of the crime and brings a sense of relief to fans who have followed Lee’s ordeal since the incident. Authorities have reportedly tied the weapon to two separate murder cases, solidifying what will likely be a lengthy prison sentence for the perpetrators.

For Lee, this is more than just legal justice—it’s a personal victory. The guitarist, whose career spans decades and includes iconic contributions to Osbourne’s Bark at the Moon and The Ultimate Sin, has faced his share of challenges, but the shooting was perhaps his most harrowing. That he now speaks with determination and even a touch of humor—ending his post with “See ya on TV!”—shows his resilience in the face of violence.

Fans have rallied behind him, flooding his social media with support and relief that closure is finally within reach. Many are speculating about his hint of future projects, as his comment suggests he’s not only moving forward but preparing to return to the public eye.

The sentencing, scheduled for July, marks a critical moment in Lee’s journey to justice. As he waits for the final verdict, his story serves as a reminder of survival against the odds—a rock icon refusing to be defined by tragedy.

For Jake E. Lee, the music will continue. And when he steps back into the spotlight, it won’t just be as a guitar hero—it will be as a survivor whose fight, both onstage and off, resonates louder than ever.
