Christy Carlson Romano, a former Disney Channel star, is thankful to be alive after being shot in the face during a clay pigeon shooting outing.

The “Even Stevens” star took to Instagram and stated someone “unsafely fired in the wrong direction,” hitting her in five places, including dangerously close to her right eye.

The 40-year-old was shot while celebrating her husband Brendan Rooney’s birthday.

“Yesterday was my husband’s birthday, and I took him to shoot clay pigeons as a present. There was another party with us, and they unsafely fired in the wrong direction and shot me in the face,” she wrote in the caption of her post.

Christy Carlson Romano said her husband “immediately sprung into action, assessed me, and rushed me to the hospital.”

“I was hit in 5 places, one was less than an inch from hitting me directly in my right eye,” she continued in the caption. “Unfortunately a fragment got lodged behind my eye and it is too risky to remove surgically at this time. Doctors will continue to monitor me (I can see normally at the moment).”

Prayers were being sent to her after this terrible ordeal.

“What in the actual f–k. I’m so glad you are ok. ❤️,” one person said.

“You are the bravest, toughest, most stoic, and badass woman I have ever met. I am so thankful you are alive. I am so thankful you are the mother to our children. I wouldn’t know what to do without you. I love you more than life itself. 🙏” Christy Carlson Romano’s husband said.

“Here for you always!! Just counting ALL the lucky stars that you’re ok!!” a friend stated.

“Praying for your complete and quick recovery! I’m so sorry,” another comment stated.
