Jason Aldean Recalls Awful Details

Jason went into detail about what he remembers from that night. 

“I was on stage. I thought we had a blown speaker, no clue what was going on… I just heard something sound like it was cracking, but it was the gun going off. It was coming through the microphones and it just sounded weird, but I didn’t know what it was. So we got offstage and I took those out and I heard him shoot again, and that’s when I knew what was going on. I had no idea until I got off stage. When I took my headphones out the first thing I said was, ‘Where’s Brit?’ We just kinda hunkered down for awhile, and I kept noticing the guy would shoot and then there’d be a little break where I guess he was going to a different window or whatever he was doing. So I just told her, ‘Next time he stops like that, get up and start moving, we’re going to the bus.’ So she got up and we started heading to the bus, and we got about halfway there and he started shooting again. She kind of froze up and I grabbed her, took her to the bus, got in the back of the bus and just kinda hunkered down back there… I got some stuff on the bus that will at least, you know, somewhat of an even playing field. You go and see the aftermath after it happened, there’s bullet holes in the front of my bus and in the side, the windows got shot out of the band bus. My bass player, who was on stage with me, one of my best friends in the world for the last 25 years, was standing next to me, had a bullet lodged in the bass he was playing at the time. A bullet hits the bass he’s got on at the time playing.”

This is awful. At that point, Jason and his crew were in fight or flight mode. He was worried about his pregnant wife and was going to do anything to protect her. However, they all ended up being okay at the end of the day.
