AceShowbiz –Machine Gun Kelly‘s drummer did not only lose some of his precious possessions, but also he could’ve lost his life in a recent scary encounter with thieves. JP Cappelletty, who is better known as Rook, has recently become the victim of a robbery, which landed him in the hospital.

Rook was robbed when he was walking down a street in the Hollywood Hills on Tuesday night, March 2 at 8 P.M., TMZ reports. Two men reportedly jumped out of a vehicle to rob him. Law enforcement sources say a physical altercation ensued, but Rook couldn’t defend his belongings and had thousands of dollars worth of property stolen from him.

Rook was also hit by a car during the attack, which resulted in his foot and arm injuries. It’s unclear who hit the drummer though. The suspects managed to get away and there’s no information if they were armed or not.
