Grande in call for ‘love, unity and gun control’

-

ARIANA GRANDE has called for “love, unity, peace and gun control” and said that her “heart is breaking” in reaction to the mass shooting in Las Vegas.

The US singer, whose concert in Manchester was the target of a terror attack in May, was one of many stars speaking out in the wake of the shooting, which has killed at least 58 people and injured more than 500.

Grande, 24, wrote on Twitter: “My heart is breaking for Las Vegas.”

Grande was performing at the Manchester Arena on May 22 when a bomb was detonated by suicide bomber Salman Abedi, killing 22 people.

Country music star Jason Aldean, who was on stage during the last night of the three-day Route 91 Harvest Festival music event where the Las Vegas shooting took place, also took to social media following the atrocity.

The US singer ran from the stage as the gunshots rang out, and he described the ordeal as “beyond horrific” while sharing a picture of the city’s famous strip on Instagram with the words ‘Pray For Las Vegas’ written over the top.

He captioned it: “Tonight has been beyond horrific. I still don’t know what to say but wanted to let everyone know that me and my crew are safe.”

British nutrition coach Joe Wicks was in Las Vegas at the time and wrote on Twitter: “Thank you for all your messages. I am in Las Vegas tonight and am safe in my hotel room now. Thoughts to the victims.”

US singer Taylor Swift wrote on Twitter: “There are no words to express the helplessne­ss and sorrow, my broken heart feels for the victims in Vegas and their families.”
