Jason Aldean: Tonight Has Been Beyond Horrific, Stop the Hate

Country music superstar Jason Aldean has released a statement after 64-year-old Stephen Paddock opened fire on a crowd of his concert goers in Las Vegas Sunday night. 

"Tonight has been beyond horrific. I still dont know what to say but wanted to let everyone know that Me and my Crew are safe. My Thoughts and prayers go out to everyone involved tonight," Aldean posted on his social media accounts. "It hurts my heart that this would happen to anyone who was just coming out to enjoy what should have been a fun night. #heartbroken #stopthehate."
