Jodie Sweetin recalls Bob Saget helping her escape a drive-by shooting
Jodie Sweetin says Bob Saget helped her escape a drive-by shooting when they were together in a car.
She recalled the incident during a Full House cast reunion at 90s Con on Sunday.
Sweetin said the shooting happened in Los Angeles in the late 1980s or early 1990s, while they were heading to a Janet Jackson concert.
She said she leaned over to tie her shoes as gunshots shattered the car window, and they ran from the vehicle.
Saget helped get Sweetin to safety, then drove her home and explained what had happened to her mother.
Saget, who played Sweetin’s TV father on Full House, died in 2022 at age 65.

What people are saying
It was a drive-by. It was back in the late ‘80s, early ‘90s.
I leaned over to tie my shoes, and it’s just like "pop pop pop" and the whole thing shattered.
And then Bob had to drive me home and explain to my mom what happened.
