Makes everything going on a little better.”He continued: “To clarify, I was shot three times. I was on my way back home from walking my dog Coco (I didn’t name him so don’t!). Don’t want to go into details now – I’m tired – but I feel relatively very lucky. The police found 15 shell casings at the scene, which means he emptied his clip on me.“I could only dodge so many, so one bullet went through my forearm, one through my foot, and one in the back, which broke a rib and damaged a lung.”Lee added that the current priority was to “keep draining my lung till it’s done crying” before his more minor injuries were dealt with. He signed off with: “And by the way, Coco’s fine and appreciates your inquiries!”Jake E.
