Country Singer Jason Aldean Speaks Out About The Las Vegas Shooting That Began During His Performance “Something has changed in this country,� Aldean said in his first tweet since the shooting.

Tasneem Nashrulla, BuzzFeed News Reporter

At least 59 people were killed and at least 527 were injured in the shooting on the Las Vegas Strip late Sunday night that's being called the deadliest mass shooting in recent US history.

The shooter, Stephen Paddock, opened fire from the 32nd floor of a hotel room in the Mandalay Bay, targeting the 22,000-person outdoor concert where Aldean was performing.

The country singer had posted a brief message immediately after the shooting, but in Tuesday's statement, he spoke at length about what he felt in the aftermath of the incident.

His statement read:

Over the last 24 hours I have gone through lots of emotions. Scared, Anger, Heartache, Compassion and many others. I truely (sic) dont understand why a person would want to take the life of another. Something has changed in this country and in this world lately that is scary to see.

This world is becoming the kind of place I am afraid to raise my children in. At the end of the day we arent Democrats or Republicans, Whites or Blacks, Men or Women. We are all humans and we are all Americans and its time to start acting like it and stand together as ONE! That is the only way we will ever get this Country to be better than it has ever been, but we have a long way to go and we have to start now. My heart aches for the Victims and their families of this Senseless act. I am so sorry for the hurt and pain everyone is feeling right now and there are no words i can say to take that pain away. Just know u all are in my heart and my prayers as we all go through this together. Time to come together and stop the hate! #stopthehate #prayforlasvegas

Climate change is happening - now. Texas is already experiencing more climate disasters than any other state - from historic drought and raging wildfires to historic inland flooding and the devastating wind and rain from Hurricane Harvey. These events are costing us in lost lives, destroyed homes, business and infrastructure and lost economic opportunity.

The City of San Antonio, in partnership with UTSA, is poised to begin developing its first climate action plan to set goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and building a more equitable and prosperous community.

Public Citizen and our partners are working to ensure that the people of San Antonio are at the forefront of developing the plan.

Join us to learn what the science of climate change is telling us and what role the city can play in this urgent fight to preserve a livable climate. Now is the time to get involved!
