Christy Carlson Romano, the former Disney star known for "Even Stevens" and "Kim Possible," was shot in the face in February 2025 during a clay pigeon shooting outing for her husband's birthday. She was hit by birdshot fired unsafely in the wrong direction by another party at the event. The injury was severe, with pellet fragments lodged in her face, including one behind her eye that is too risky to remove surgically as it could cause blindness. Despite this, she has been recovering well and is grateful to be alive, able to see normally, and has expressed feeling profoundly changed by the experience. Her husband acted quickly to get her to the hospital, and she continues to be monitored by doctors. Romano has been open about the incident, sharing updates on her recovery and its impact on her life.
