Question: Did Jerry Lee shoot his bass player in the chest?
Answer: Yes. In 1976, while entertaining folks during his 41st birthday party at his home in Collierville, TN, he accidentally shot his bass player, Butch Owens, in the chest with a .357 Magnum handgun. Lewis claimed that he thought the gun was unloaded; Owens himself, who survived, claimed that Jerry Lee was attempting to shoot a bottle and he'd merely gotten hit with a ricochet.
