"Why are we judging this act?" Simon Cowell said as the judges sat there, stunned. "Amber just shot Ryan and he needs to go to a hospital now! I'm being serious."
Later, Cowell gave an update on the incident. "I've heard he was OK, but this has never happened before. We always kid that they need to make it more dangerous, but then this happens. I thought it was part of the act, but then I realized this was bad. I just had a feeling, they looked nervous before they started. But he's OK."
