Musicians Send Their Condolences to Those Affected in Las Vegas Shooting
Hours after the deadliest mass shooting in US history, authorities are now saying more than 50 people are dead and more than 400 injured.
The gunman opened fire on a crowd of concertgoers across from the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, as country lovers gathered for the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival.
The gunman has been identified as 64-year old, Stephen Paddock, and police say they believe he killed himself before they entered his hotel room.
Country singer, Jason Aldean was apparently singing the last song of his set when the shooting broke out. The artist is safe, and fled the stage as soon as he heard the gunshots.
This devastating event is nothing but horrid, and many artists have taken to twitter to show their condolences to those affected by this tragic event.
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…
