Actress , Christy Carlson Romano , is recovering after being” shot in the eye” while shooting clay pigeons at her father’s holiday gathering over the weekend.
The accident took place when “another party with us” at the shooting range “unsafely fired in the wrong direction and shot me in the face”, the , Connecticut-born former Disney star said on Instagram, emphasizing that she is” safe”.
Husband , Brendan Rooney , “immediately sprung into motion, assessed me, and rushed me to the hospital”, the” Yet Stevens” alum said in her Saturday Instagram post. One was less than an foot from striking me straight in my right eye, and I was hit in five places.
Romano added that bullet fragments lodged on and on her head were too dangerous to remove, adding that a picture of her with a pockmark in her cheek merely below her eye was also posted.
” With everything that happened, all I can think about is how glad I am to be alive”, she wrote. ” I love my girls, husband, family, and friends but little. I told you to hug those around you whenever you can because I saw my career display before my eyes. Career may change in an instant”.
The” Kim Possible” sun shares two young girls with Rooney and is based in , Austin, where she moved in 2020 to boost her home outside of Hollywood’s light, as she told People last month.
Rooney weighed in also, commenting on his wife’s courage.
” You are the bravest, toughest, most philosophical and cool female I have always met”, he wrote. ” I am so thankful you are dead. You are the mother of our kids, and I am so grateful. I doesn’t understand what to do without you. I love you more than living itself”.
