Sundance Head, the winner of season 11 of “The Voice,” was shot on his ranch in East Texas Friday.

According to a statement obtained by Fox News Digital from Sundance’s representative, Trey Newman, the country music singer sustained a gunshot wound to his stomach and called 911 himself. He was then airlifted to a hospital in Tyler, Texas.

“This was an apparent accident, and the bullet did not hit any vital organs, lodging in a fatty area of his stomach [and] not requiring any surgery at this time until we receive any further updates,” the statement noted. The cause of the shooting has not been shared at this time.

On Friday, Sundance’s wife, Misty, took to his Facebook account to share updates on his condition and thanked fans for “all the prayers.”

“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,” she wrote on social media. “I’m sure she said why but my head is in a fog right now. Him being on the bigger side was a good thing. Bullet is in his fatty tissue. Thanks for all the prayers.

A resident in a small San Bernardino County Mountain community is being criticized after he shot and killed a bear last week that he claimed was getting into his chicken coop.  

The Arrowbear Lake resident, a man identified only as Chris, reported the Nov. 13 shooting on Fox Lane to the county sheriff’s department and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife said the homeowner was justified in fatally shooting the animal.  

Under California Fish and Game code 4181.1 “any bear that is encountered while in the act of inflicting injury to, molesting or killing livestock may be taken immediately by the owner of the livestock.” 

“I love the bears, everybody here. We coexist with them,” neighbor Mike Kutz, who heard the shots told KTLA’s Shelby Nelson. “I hear three or four gunshots and then, a few minutes later, I had another two more gunshots.”  

According to Kutz, the bear was no stranger to the neighborhood and added that it appeared to be skittish of humans.  

“He would just walk up the street and if I opened the door to my cabin, he would run,” he said. “He would not stop and look. He would instantly run.”  

The homeowner who shot the bear and had previously reported to the sheriff’s department that the animal charged him briefly spoke to KTLA.  

“It was getting into my chicken coop. Like I said, talk to the sheriff. They’ll give you the details,” he explained. “I’ve done everything I can to prevent this bear. I had an electric fence. The bear went right through it no matter what. I had a bunch of deterrents, the bear kept coming. I even bear sprayed him, and he still kept coming.”  

While the shooting was deemed justified, it has drawn a lot of criticism from other mountain residents, especially online, with many saying it was sad to see the situation end this way.  

“I think if fish and game said that it’s justified then it’s justified,” Arrowbear Lake resident Eric Real told KTLA. “I do love animals, so it does hurt to see a bear get shot over the situation.”  

The Federal Aviation Administration was in Pomona Monday to investigate a plane crash that left four people hurt at the Pomona Fairplex a day earlier.

Preliminary details regarding the crash that occurred around 11:10 a.m. Sunday during the In-N-Out Burger NHRA Finals could be released later in the day, the Orange County Register reported Monday.

The single-engine Piper PA32 Aircraft was apparently trying to land at nearby Brackett Field Airport in La Verne when it crashed near the racetrack with thousands in attendance.

A thud could be heard on a video that showed the low-flying plane followed by someone in the grandstands saying “An airplane just crashed.”

The races were delayed as a result of the crash while emergency personnel rushed to survey the scene.

Aerial video from Sky5 Monday morning showed yellow tape surrounding five vehicles and three trailers that were involved in the crash.

Somehow, no bystanders were injured and the four people aboard the plane were rescued with moderate to severe injuries but none were considered to be life-threatening. No updates on the injuries were available Monday.

The cause of the crash is part of the investigation being conducted by the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board.
