The former Disney Channel star was injured during her husband's birthday outing when another party fired unsafely, leaving a fragment lodged behind her eye.

  • Christy Carlson Romano, known for her roles in 'Even Stevens' and 'Kim Possible,' was injured while shooting clay pigeons in Texas for her husband’s birthday.
  • Another party at the shooting range fired unsafely, striking Romano in five places, with one fragment narrowly missing her right eye.
  • A fragment remains lodged behind her eye, and doctors have deemed it too risky to remove surgically at this time, although she can currently see normally.
