Kulick and another man were hit by bullets when a 21-year-old man opened fire from outside the Rainbow Bar & Grill on Sunset Blvd. The man had gotten into an argument inside the club and retreated to his car, grabbed a gun and opened fire from the street. 

Kulick was not the intended target, he was standing outside a near by club and got caught by a stray bullet in his leg and another bullet grazed his head. Another man inside the Rainbow was shot in the foot.  Both Kulick and the other victim were treated at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and released. 

The unnamed suspect fired 4 to 7 shots from his 9 MM handgun before several people tackled him to the ground until Los Angeles Country Sheriff Deputies showed up and arrested him, according to a report from AP. 

The suspect was arrested and booked with assault with a deadly weapon and was treated for injuries incurred when he was detained by the crowd. 

Kulick was a member of KISS during their unmasked days. He joined the group in 1984, to fill in for guitarist Mark St. John during the band’s “Animalize” tour. St John could not play guitar due to a rare from of arthritis. Although he was only supposed to be a temporary replacement Kulick became a fulltime member of the group and remained with them until the original lineup reunited and remasked in 1997. 

After leaving KISS, Kulick formed the group Union, he later tried his luck solo with two albums and also played with a reformed version of Grand Funk Railroad.
