Former Disney Star Christy Carlson Romano Reveals Gunshot Face Injury Details

Christy Carlson Romano, known for her roles on Disney Channel shows like "Even Stevens" and "Kim Possible," opened up about a traumatic incident in which she was accidentally shot in the face while shooting clay pigeons with her husband for his birthday. The former child star revealed on the "Not a Damn Chance!" podcast that she was hit by birdshot from another party within 200 feet, emphasizing that the incident was not malicious but an unfortunate accident. Romano described feeling out of body and initially giving her husband a thumbs-up to signal she was okay, a reflex from her experience on the reality show "Special Forces: World's Toughest Test." She recounted the shock and fear of potentially dying, and how her husband quickly took action despite his urge to confront the responsible party. Romano stressed the importance of gun safety and reflected on how close the injury came to causing blindness or death depending on the shot's trajectory. Since the incident, she has mostly recovered and is now sharing her story to raise awareness about the dangers involved in such activities.
