Jake Owen Gets Bus Back After Vegas Shooting

Jake Owen has been reunited with his bus after the mass shooting in Las Vegas several weeks ago, but it comes with a painful reminder of that tragic night. 

On Instagram, Jake explained that each day on tour, his manager writes down the schedule for the day ahead on a chalkboard that they have hanging on the bus, and when he got his bus back, the schedule for the Route 91 Harvest Festival was still written.

Jake posted along with the photo of the chalkboard, "Every day my tour manager/best friend writes down our day on our bus door chalk board... we just got our bus back from Vegas and it’s still written on the door. I’ll never forget this day."

The country star himself was backstage when a gunman fired shots on the crowd at the Route 91 Harvest Festival on October 1st, killing more than 50 people and injuring hundreds more. Jake described what he had experienced to Bobby Bones right after the shooting occurred:

"When I went on stage to watch Jason [Aldean] is when this all happened and went down, and we thought it was the pyrotechnics or something going off, and the next thing you know, you can hear it ringing off the top of the roof. There was people freaking out, everyone started fleeing every which way, and at that point, when you got out in the parking lot area, where we were running to ... I mean there [were] people bleeding and laying in the streets, it was literally like a bad movie. Like something that you would dream, and think you were going to wake up at any point, and I think we're all still trying to figure out this is real life, this is weird."
