The Las Vegas massacre that took more than 50 lives and injured more than 500 people during the Route 91 Harvest country music festival has left Las Vegas, the country music community, and the nation in mourning. The horrific attack is now the largest mass shooting in America's history.
Country stars took to Twitter to pray for the victims and their families, unite the nation, and denounce the senseless act of violence and hate.
Praying for everyone here in Vegas. I witnessed the most unimaginable event tonight. We are okay. Others arent. Please pray.
