As reported on every major news network in the nation, a terrible shooting tragedy occurred last night in Las Vegas, Nevada during Jason Aldean‘s set at the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival. Our hearts are broken at the massive loss of life, the horrendous experience of those injured and impacted by this tragedy. One disturbed man’s act of violence has scarred us all. We are immensely proud of the bravery and skill with which everyday citizens, emergency first respondents, and law enforcement worked together to minimize casualties and ensure the health and safety of so many people. We at CountryMusicNewsBlog.com and CountryMusicOnTour.com will be closing our offices temporarily to spend time with our families and try to find some light in this terrible darkness. Love each other. Find ways to show it. ~ Shauna “WhiskeyChick” Castorena Save Save
