Country singer, Porter, Sundance Head native recovering after being shot while hunting on rural Texas ranch, Camp says

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Texas (KTRK) — Country singer and Texas native Sundance Head is recovering after being shot in the stomach following an incident at his ranch, the singer’s camp said.

The singer, who gained popularity after appearing on American Idol in 2007 and winning “The Voice” in 2016, was flown to a hospital in Tyler, Texas, on Friday.

Sundance Head’s wife Misty updated all fans on the singer’s Facebook page about his current condition. She said the bullet did not travel far and that the singer, whose real name is Jason Head, would not need surgery.

“The doctor just called me. A bullet entered above his belly button and lodged in his abdominal wall, causing the loss of all vital organs. He won’t need surgery because they won’t remove the bullet,” said Misty, wife of Sundance Head.

According to his wife, he has now been released.

Head’s agent, Trey Newman, sent out a press release saying the 46-year-old singer from Porter, Texas, was hunting alone on his ranch when he was shot.

Newman also says they are “100% certain” the shooting was not self-inflicted and are awaiting further details on the incident.
