Country music star Sundance Head has been hospitalized in Texas after he was shot whiel deer hunting on his ranch.
The 46-year-old was reportedly flown by helicopter to a hospital in Tyler.
His wife, Misty, posted a long update to his Facebook page Friday evening.
“We have arrived at hospital and just now physically put my eyes on him and heard his sweet voice,” she wrote. “He’s in good spirits considering the last several hours. Kids are in with him now. Prayers answered as no internal damage was done by the bullet. Thank you all of the prayers.”
Misty then explained that Sunday was hunting at his ranch and was alone. She said that nobody shot him, and that he was not shot by his rifle. Instead, she wrote, that Sundance was “out of the vehicle reaching in to grab his 22 when he grabbed it the 22 came out of its holster and hit the exterior of the Jeep just right and went off.”
She said her husband then “took off down the driveway out to the main road to flag a car down for help. 10 cars later someone turned around to help and called 911.”
She wrote that he was “lucky and grateful to be alive.”
“Thank you to the good Samaritan who stopped and helped and the fast response by life flight and the doctors,” she added. “Doctor just called me bullet went in above his navel and lodged into his abdominal wall missing all vital organs. He will not require surgery as they are not removing the bullet.”
Misty added that “him being on the bigger side was a good thing. Bullet is in his fatty tissue.”
So, Sundance didn’t dodge a bullet, but it certainly looks like he got lucky, all things considered.
Head was the winner of Season 11 of “The Voice.”
