At the Route 91 Harvest Country Music Festival in Las Vegas last night, a gunman opened fire, killing 50 people and wounding at least 400 more. The horrific event took place just as country music star Jason Aldean took the stage. This morning, country musicians are reacting to the tragedy, which has surpassed last year's Orlando Pulse Nightclub shooting as the worst in our nation's history.
Jason Aldean
Jason Aldean was performing his set when the gunfire began. Aldean shared on social media last night that he and his crew were uninjured during the attack.
