Country music artist Trace Adkins disclosed in a recent podcast appearance that he was shot by his second wife in 1991. Adkins recounted the incident, suggesting that his then-wife may not have intended to inflict severe injury and potentially underestimated the firearm’s capability.
The bullet reportedly traversed both Adkins’s heart and lungs. He attributed his survival to the prompt and skilled intervention of medical professionals. Following the initial incident, Adkins underwent surgery to address a heart injury that had not completely healed.
Further details regarding the specific circumstances of the shooting, the identity of his second wife, or the exact nature of the medical treatment received beyond the mention of surgery were not provided in the podcast discussion.
