Horton, whose TV credits also include American Horror Story and American Vandal, said the incident took place when an assailant shot at his car, the aftermath of which he included in his compilation of photos. The bullet pierced his arm and “shattered it,” but the actor said he feels “blessed” to not be “in a casket or paralyzed.”

He concluded, “I’m out the hospital now healing???? I got a plate n screws in my mf arm, so I can’t workout for a minute which I’m mad about BUT it coulda been worse! 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!
