Country singer trolled for leaving Vegas shooting scene
Country singer Jason Aldean was performing at the Route 91 Harvest Festival in Las Vegas as the mass shooting took place.
But now he is being trolled on social media as some have labelled him a “coward” after he heard shots being fired.
Some have called him out for not warning “fans to run or get down” and “saved himself first”.
"Jason Aldean" why did he run instead of telling the people to get down or out. that is a coward to me

Is it just me......or does Jason Aldean look like a coward running off stage? He could have said something, or jumped down to help people.

Coward ran off stage without warning the people with their backs to what was happening. He'll have live with that the rest of his life.

However, many have come out in support of the 40-year-old country singer saying his reaction was an instinct of human survival and others would do the same.
Sad to see people bashing Jason Aldean for running off stage in Las Vegas. His human reaction was survival & you would do the same. Grow up.

It’s so sad that we are putting blame on #JasonAldean when the real blame should be put on the shooter. He is among the victims.
