As many of you already know @shane_post_ got shot in front of me, baby Penelope and @rudy_asael on April 19th. He has been in the ICU since then. His surgery was 4 hrs long and his injuries are very severe. As we were told, he got shot at a very bad spot as a lot of major organs are located there. He suffered injuries to his colon, kidneys, liver and duodenum. Shane’s recovery will be slow and will take months. He will never be the same again. It was, undeniably, the worst day of our lives and it will never be forgotten. This tragedy not only caused physical damage but mental as well. I pray we all find peace and be able to live our life normally again in the future 🙏. I am so devastated that the shooter is living and breathing with zero remorse while Shane is in severe pain at the hospital.
I know we will get our justice!!! Most importantly, God is on our side🙏 Thank you God for saving my husband’s life
Thank you Everyone who reached out. Thank you to our amazing friends and family for your indescribable support.
