DeRon Horton, an actor best known for his work on Netflix‘s Dear White People, is on the mend after being shot last month. Horton revealed the news in an Instagram post with a photo of himself in a hospital bed and a series of images of his injured arm.

“First off. I wanna give an honor to God for covering me and protecting me to make it out this situation and countless other ones. Everybody that checked on me n holla’d at me specially my family n friends I love yall, Thank you,” he wrote. “Gettin shot a few days before Xmas def wasn’t on my wish list, but it happened.”

Horton recounted how he was shot through his car and the bullet broke his arm. “Shattered it all type o shit,” he wrote. “But I’m Blessed dawg to not be in a casket or paralyzed Lord thank you.” The actor added that he is now out of the hospital and “healing,” but now has a plate and screws in his arm.

“I can’t workout for a minute which I’m mad about BUT it coulda been worse!” he concluded the post. “And I don’t need no sympathy I’m finna bounce right back I feel amazing. I just wanted to remind yall and myself to Keep God first! Stay Alert n Grateful for Everything. the devil can’t stop sh*t when you walk w God.”

Samuel L. Jackson, Horton’s co-star on Apple TV+ series The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey, was among the well-wishers in the comments. Glad you’re still with us, Tuff Stuff!!!” Jackson wrote. “Good thing you’re covered by the All mighty. Hoping you heal quickly & painlessly as possible. Stay Blessed.”

Horton appeared in all four seasons of Dear White People as Lionel Higgins. He appeared as a series regular in the 2019 edition of American Horror Story, starred opposite Denzel Washington in Roman J. Israel, Esq., and played Lou Carter on the series American Vandal. The actor told The Hollywood Reporter in 2018 that working with Washington impacted the trajectory of his career.

“I feel like he’s somewhat changed my life, saved my life,” Horton said. “I will say that him and other people that I look up to very much and to see this person in the flesh and just know in my high school brain, I was like, ‘I just hope to be like him one day,’ and I’m sitting here looking at him.”
