LIZZY BORDEN released the following statement regarding the shooting: "With the blessings from our friend and brother Ulrik Zander, we are committed more then ever to finish what we started, the Deal With The Devil tour will continue on as planed. We've endured many obstacles on our return to the road. Including missing opening night in Dallas due to incompatibility with the tour's headliner, to the current shooting of our friend and crew technician right in front of my eyes. But I cannot in all good conscience let down the legions of Lizzy Borden fans that drive hundreds of miles all over the states to see the long awaited return of the Lizzy Borden show. We are dedicating the remainder of the Deal With The Devil tour to our friend Zander who is lying in the hospital with three bullet wounds, he is truly the man of steel and I know he will be back on the road with us very soon."
