Anything which is shot, means damaged. When I listen to Ozzy Osbourne on my mp3 player, my ears are shot (which has actually happened! haha). My knees are shot, because I'm getting older and I don't do much exercise. To be shot, is to be hit with a bullet from a gun, but it means damaged or broken, usually beyond repair, but the informal could be temporary.
