Tiger Army Drummer Fred Hell In Hospital After Shooting

Tiger Army's website has
confirmed the report that was run on several websites and message boards on Thursday:
"As some of you may have heard, Tiger
Army drummer Fred Hell was hospitalized on the night of Monday, March 10th
after being shot four times. He was at a friend's apartment in Chino, CA when
two men with guns entered the apartment in what was apparently a home invasion
robbery. The events that follow are confused, but after a struggle Fred
attempted to flee to safety while one of the perpetrators shot at him from
behind in an act of extreme cowardice. Fred was found in a parking lot, hit in
once in the head, once in the chest and twice in the butt. He was airlifted by
helicopter to a nearby hospital where he received multiple surgeries. His
condition has stabilized and he was moved out of the intensive care unit
Wednesday afternoon but he's still in the hospital at the current time.
Amazingly, he's in good spirits, can speak and can move and feel his arms, legs,
hands and toes -- thankfully his mind and memory appear to be okay. Anyone who's
ever met Fred can attest that he's the nicest guy you'll ever meet and the last
person who deserved to fall victim to such an act."
