The deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history took place in Las Vegas overnight when a suspected sole gunman opened fire on a crowd of concertgoers at Route 91 Harvest Music Festival from Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. At least 50 people are dead and more than 400 people are injured. 

Today, throughout the entire show, we listened to stories from fans, listeners, artists, artists' camps and more. Below you can find every story we shared, every moment we mentioned and discussed the tragic events that happened in Las Vegas.

Friend of ours, DJ Tischner, recalls being side stage as the shots first rang out.

Bobby and Eddie gave 3-day passes to a man they met in Las Vegas so he could be with his wife. He called into the show, one of his friends was shot in his leg.  

We made sure to address how people can help those in impacted. Donate Blood. And continue to support live music.
