Tory Lanez Stabbed 14 Times in Prison – Lungs Collapse, Narrowly Surviving

What seemed like a normal day in May in a California prison yard turned into a bloody nightmare. Rapper Tory Lanez – real name Daystar Peterson – was attacked by another inmate with a homemade weapon, and was stabbed 14 times: 7 in the back, 4 in the chest, 2 in the back of the head and 1 in the face. Both of his lungs collapsed completely, a medical condition known as bilateral pneumothorax – leaving him unable to breathe without a ventilator.

Doctors at Bakersfield Hospital confirmed that Tory was rushed to the emergency room. He is now breathing without a ventilator, conscious and “grateful to be alive”.

Why was he attacked?
Details about the attacker and the motive have not been released, but all signs point to this not being a random fight but a targeted assassination. Officials are investigating along with the Kern County District Attorney’s Office and the California State Prisons Ombudsman.
