I saw my life flash before my eyes and I’m telling you, hug the people around you every chance you can. Life can change in an instant. 🙏.” Her husband also took to social media to talk about the incident, sharing a behind-the-scenes photo of the “Kim Possible” alum flipping him off from a hospital bed.“My wife gets shot, I ask to take a picture for the record, she flips me the bird and smiles (she nearly lost her eye mind you).

I will be by your side forever. 🙏❤️.” The film producer also reshared Romano’s Instagram video on his Story, writing, “Kiss your loved ones.”Romano and Rooney tied the knot in December 2013 and share daughters Victoria, 8, and Sophia Elizabeth, 5.
