, to divert her eyes from -- the night Stephen Paddock opened fire on Oct. 1, 2017 as the country star closed out the Route 91 Festival in Las Vegas., which is the amount of time the gunman fired his weapon down at the crowd from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel. The shooting left 58 people dead and more than 800 injured.
"So, we're running and we got about halfway up the side of the bus, he started shooting again and my wife froze up and dropped," Aldean shares. "And I just grabbed her under the arms and carried her up to the door." "I'm 40 years old but sometimes it takes us guys a while to grow up. Something like that happens and it sorta makes you look at a lot of things different and realize how short life is and it kinda makes you get your act together a little bit," he said at the time."It definitely did that for me."
Watching it now- very hard to see what these innocent souls went through
the 2017 Las Vegas shooting was absolutely horrific. but how convenient to bring it up now when Aldean and his wife need a diversion from their offensive transphobia and right wing politics.
