Jake Owen is safe after performing at the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival just before a gunman opened fire during the outdoor concert in Las Vegas on Sunday, October 1. The country singer opened up about his experience in a series of tweets on Monday.
“Gun shots!!! Vegas. Pray to god. Love you guys. Love you Pearl,” the 36-year-old tweeted. “Praying for everyone here in Vegas. I witnessed the most unimaginable event tonight. We are okay. Others arent. Please pray. Gun shots were ringing off of the stage rigging and road cases. No one knew where to go..thank you LVPD and responders for keeping us safe.”
