Actress Christy Carlson Romano says she is happy to be alive after an accident. She was hurt in the face while out shooting clay pigeons for her husband’s birthday. She talked about the accident on Instagram. She was hit in five places on her face.
Romano pointed to a bullet hole under her eye. She said, “I got shot here. It is still inside.” She had pieces of the bullet in other parts of her face. After the accident, her husband, Brendan Rooney, rushed her to a hospital in Austin, Texas.
