“Tonight has been beyond horrific,” Aldean wrote in an Instagram post early Monday morning. “I still don’t 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.”
He added: “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.”
