So his mike was cut? There was no way to make an announcement for the audience to seek cover and stay low? Or wasn't there an emergency P.A. system in place for emergencies?

[@Kavi_Sedai]

I’m thinking no one knew what was going on at the time?

[@ralph5874]

Jason aldean 🔥 one of my favorite artists

[@justinTime077]

You’re *basic,* Ralph.

[@malcorub]

Can't say I know any of this guy's songs and I had actually never heard of him prior to the shooting.

[@freedom1439]

My reaction was like I don’t know, you know?

[@lesleyd2448]

❤️Jason Vegas strong 💪 RIP Mr Petty

T 2020🇺🇸🎉

[@RazorShalom]

Why does this guy seem perfectly ok with what happened

[@corydestein3160]

Because he’d have to admit guns do bad things

[@freedom1439]

it’s just the way he is…

[@sillybilly5525]

Y’all don’t realize that’s what security’s job is and it just was an unfortunate event

[@PrincipalProductions]

I think he may have been the one In the casino/hotel suite actually you’re right he seems more than ok with his show getting slaughter IDIOT

[@Kavi_Sedai]

Because he is professional

[@axelsoncarla]

The guy ran away

[@randomrecipes5007]

coward, could have warned people... many would have lived..... "well pick it up in a little bit" (runs away with security) leaving people confused... instead of saying everybody calmly gtfoh.

[@_S0urR0ses_]

He didn’t know what the heck was happening until he was already off the stage. He knew less than the people in the audience. How can you judge anyone in that kind of situation!!!

[@blueberry0411]

@@randomrecipes5007 he literally had a pregnant wife back stage at the time he was more worried about her. plus he even said in another interview he thought the gunshots were an electrical issue and didn't know there was danger till his security guard started running towards him

[@justinTime077]

@@_S0urR0ses_ after retreating to safety it’s beyond inconsiderate not to raise an alarm for the fans. Jason and his crew are cowardly, scummy, pandering bitches. To not even mention, “man, I regret not using my mic after I retreated to safety…” is obvious he’s keen to not open that obvious question.

[@Johndoe345-k2d]

He a wimp for real.

[@saltysurfnut]

He was "shooken" up....

[@captrodgers4273]

i dont see how he been getting a pass for not at least saying hey run thats gunfire or something. he just ran off the stage leaving everyone clueless

[@jenniec3251]

If you were him you would've done the same thing. First family. Just because he's famous doesn't mean he should have a big responsibility for everyone. In a situation of life and death hes gonna choose himself and family. Everyone would.

[@hunterstacy2855]

Fr he should of said something he's the only person everyone could here

[@rasinit1]

@@hunterstacy2855 he said in a previous interview that he didn't know what was going on, but his security waved him off stage and then he took of his ear pieces and found out what was going on. I didn't study the video footage, but from what i remember seeing, he dropped his guitar and off stage. Not sure what i would've done. Nobody is prepared for something like that to happen. Im sure there was a lot of confusion.

[@MachoWrestling101]

You morons, he had no idea what was going on, when there’s a shooting a celebrity on stage is a clear target he has a pregnant wife he’s just going to stand there and draw more attention to himself to talk on the mic ro all the people and say what? I don’t know where the shooter is but here’s me possibly loading the shooter off more. Sometimes humanity can be so stupid I swear

[@MachoWrestling101]

Pissing the shooter off more* not loading , come on guys be real you knew what was going on he didn’t
