US woman shot in the foot by dart after gender reveal goes wrong

This is the moment Houston-based woman, Veronica Fernandez gets shot in the foot by dart after her sister's gender reveal party goes horribly wrong.

Veronica told Newsflare: "After convincing my sister and brother-in-law to let me and my family throw them a gender reveal, my brother-in-law agrees if it’s involving something cool, so we decided on real darts and a huge balloon.

His idea, not mine!

"Long story short it’s reveal time so of course I want the best view of my sisters reaction and stand directly across.

Never in my wildest dreams did I expect the dart to go straight through the balloon and into my foot.

I look down because I feel a pinch and there it is sticking out of my foot.

Maybe it was the adrenaline but I had no clue until I looked down.

"That’s when the panic sunk in and I’m not a needle person as it is so when I saw it I immediately think nerve damage or I’m going to bleed out (thank you 'Greys Anatomy').

I refuse to let anyone touch it so someone calls 911 but the Fire Department says they can’t remove it so they send me to the ER.

"Luckily everything was okay and all I need was a tetanus shot.

Kids don’t do this at home or better yet at all.

Never want to see another dart in my life." The shocking clip from June 2018 went viral for the first time in April 2020 after it was posted on TikTok, where it boasts over 4.5 million views.
