Lee's representative said he was shot

Lee’s representative said he was shot “multiple times” in a “street shootout.”

He was signed as a replacement for former guitarist Brad Gillis and was released from the band five years later during a telephone conversation with Sharon Osbourne.

At the time, Lee said he was surprised by the decision, and later said bassist Phil Soussan was “partially instrumental in getting me fired.”

He then became a member of Badlands before forming the Red Dragon Cartel in 2013.

The random act of violence sparked outpourings of support and well-wishes from fans, who say they are praying for his speedy recovery.

“What happened to our country?” asked one fan.
