Singer Jason Aldean, who was onstage as the last performer when a gunman opened fire on fans at a country music festival in Las Vegas, says the mass shooting which killed 50 people and left over 200 injured “beyond horrific.”

Aldean wrote in a caption on his Instagram page, “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. 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”.
