Former child star Christy Carlson Romano, 40, is recovering after being shot in the eye during a birthday celebration with her husband Brendan Rooney in Texas. The incident occurred on Friday, Feb. 7, while she was shooting clay pigeons as part of the party.
Romano shared a video on Instagram, revealing that another party had “unsafely fired” and hit her multiple times, including a fragment stuck behind her eye. Despite being told by doctors that one fragment is too risky to remove surgically at this time, Romano assured followers she’s safe.
Rooney, with whom she shares two daughters, expressed gratitude for the medical staff and first responders who helped treat his wife, saying they are “superhero people” at their most desperate times.
The actress, who can see normally despite the injury, is grateful to be alive and thanks her family, including her husband, for their love and support.
