Country Stars Respond to Texas Shooting

Hillary Scott, Charlie Daniels and more have reacted to the church shooting that took place Sunday (Nov. 5) in Sutherland Springs, Texas.

A gunman opened first at the First Baptist Church in the small Texas community about 40 miles southeast of San Antonio, killing 26 people and injuring 20 more.

Lady Antebellum’s Hillary tweeted the heartbreak, praying hands and crying face emojis in response, while the legendary front man of the Charlie Daniels Band called the incident a “satanic attack.” 

The latest shooting is the first since 58 people were killed at Las Vegas’ Route 91 Harvest country music festival during Jason Aldean’s headlining set.

The Texas gunman, identified as Devin Kelley, was found dead in his vehicle after fleeing the scene.
