As of this writing, 50 people were killed and more than 200 people are injured following a shooting at the Route 91 Harvest Festival in Las Vegas last night. The country festival had been going on all weekend with dozens of country music biggest names playing the festival. Jason Aldean was on stage at the time of the attack, he confirmed that he & his crew were ok.
Many country stars took to Twitter to share their thoughts and let fans know they're ok.
Spent I don't know how long on the floor of a trailer behind the stage... know multiple people are dead. Listening to that gunfire...
