Jodie Sweetin Remembers Bob Saget Saving Her During a Real‑Life Drive‑By Shooting
In a heartfelt recollection shared during a recent 90s Con reunion, Jodie Sweetin opened up about a terrifying night that could have ended very differently if not for the quick thinking of her longtime co‑star and on‑screen dad, Bob Saget.
According to Sweetin’s interview with People, she and Saget were traveling together in a limousine when a drive‑by shooting erupted nearby. Bullets ripped through the vehicle’s side window, shattering the glass and sending a spray of fragments into the cabin. “They shot the window out of the car,” Sweetin recalled, noting how the sudden burst of gunfire left everyone stunned.
Rather than panic, Saget calmly took control of the situation. He instructed the driver to pull over and, once the car was stopped, guided Sweetin and the other passengers to a safer location away from the line of fire. Sweetin praised Saget for “getting us to safety” and for keeping a level head while the chaos unfolded around them.
The incident, which took place years ago but has resurfaced in recent interviews, underscores the bond that formed on the set of Full House. Sweetin said the experience reminded her how much she trusted Saget not just as a colleague, but as a genuine friend who would look out for her when it mattered most.
Further details from Parade echo Sweetin’s account, emphasizing that the shooting occurred while the group was en route to a post‑show event. Despite the danger, Saget’s decisive actions ensured that everyone escaped unharmed, turning a potentially tragic night into a story of quick heroism.
Fans who watched the AZ Central video interview were reminded of the real‑life camaraderie that existed behind the scenes of the beloved sitcom.
Bob Saget, who passed away in 2022, left a lasting legacy not only for his comedic talent but also for moments like this—where his kindness and presence made a tangible difference in the lives of his friends.
Sweetin’s story serves as a powerful reminder that sometimes the bonds forged on set can become lifesaving friendships off‑screen.
