The death toll has risen dramatically following what can only be described as a massacre in Las Vegas. Authorities are now saying at least 50 people are dead and more than 400 injured after a gunman opened fire on a crowd of concertgoers across from the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. The attack is now being called the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history.
Country artist Jason Aldean is safe after gunshots went off while he was performing on stage at the country music festival. Aldean was reportedly singing the last song of his set.
As the horrible news unfolds, country musicians and celebrities from across the country react to the horrible news.
There are no words to express the helplessness and sorrow my broken heart feels for the victims in Vegas and their families.
