Shoresy star Keilani Rose has returned to her home community in northern British Columbia to recover after being shot in the chest outside her Los Angeles apartment on July 4.
Rose, a member of the Lheidli T’enneh First Nation, said in an Instagram post Tuesday that she was going home to be with her family.
“I am fine. I am beyond fine right now, feeling so much love, so much gratitude and so much wonder,” she told her followers on social media.
“I’m still processing a lot of what happened on the 4th of July and I’m doing it very slowly. I managed to get back to so-called Canada.’
“Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your encouragement and support during this time.”
Shoresy is a spinoff of the Canadian series Letterkenny and follows a struggling hockey team in Sudbury, Ontario.
According to her friend Cody Kearsley, another Canadian actor who plays Marmaduke “Muse” Mason on “Riverdale,” she was driving home from an event with a friend when two people appeared through the car window and fired shots.
Rose was taken to a hospital and received emergency treatment and surgery for broken ribs and a collapsed lung, according to a Go Fund Me page that was set up to help with medical expenses not covered by insurance.
A member of the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed to the CBC that the investigation is ongoing and no arrests have been made. They did not report any other details about the shooting.
“It’s so surreal. It almost feels like a dream,” Kearsley said.
“I was so relieved that she was okay. I knew she would do it – she’s such a strong fighter.”
Kearsley said he spoke to her two days after the incident and by then “her spirits were up”.
He said he saw her earlier this week and described Rose as “incredibly positive” despite struggling to breathe.
