Last week was the seventh anniversary of the Las Vegas shooting when a 64-year-old man opened fire on the crowd at the Route 91 Harvest music festival from his 32nd-floor hotel room.<\/p>\n
Jason Aldean was performing when the shots rang out, and he and his band immediately ran off the stage to safety, without warning the crowd.<\/p>\n
Some people criticize him for that because the shooter was unloading more than 1,000 rounds, which ended up killing 60 people and wounding at least 413.<\/p>\n
Jason says the accusations that he was acting cowardly or selfishly TICK HIM OFF . . . because he had NO IDEA what was happening.<\/p>\n
He says he had people in his ear, yelling at him to get off the stage.<\/p>\n
“[All I knew was] something’s wrong . . . so I’m just getting out of the way.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
