Lauren Ridloff and husband escorted out of Deaf International Festival in Italy after shots fired

'Eternals' and 'Walking Dead' actress Lauren Ridloff was escorted out of a festival held by Deaf International Party in Italy after shots were fired nearby: 'I am eternally grateful to my security who escorted me and my husband to safety. No one is truly immune.'

Lauren Ridloff and her husband were escorted out of an auditorium in Italy's Hotel Ariston on Sunday during a festival held by Deaf International Party after shots were fired nearby. The deaf actress, best known for her roles in the Marvel superhero film Eternals and zombie apocalypse series The Walking Dead, recounted the traumatizing ordeal on Instagram on Monday, sharing that three people have been hospitalized as a result. "The panic and chaos that descended in the packed theater-indescribable," Ridloff said, condemning gun violence as a "tragic and preventable issue that affects everyone everywhere" — "even at a joyful festival for all ages within the deaf community in a sleepy Italian beach town."
