The duo also prayed for the healthcare workers involved and said something must be done about the gun violence currently plaguing America.
Our bus was caught in the crossfire but we sheltered in place and everyone in our touring group is ok. Thank you for everyone reaching out. A reminder to keep your loved ones extra close today. We have to do something about gun violence in this country.

Fans immediately shared their sympathy with the “Potential Breakup Song” singers and the victims.
@alyandaj This is horrific and can be traumatizing. As a trauma therapist I hope you two and your whole team can have the time and space to process and heal. I am sending you all of my love. ❤️

Some talked about just how thankful they were to leave the show before the violence ensued.
@alyandaj My heart is heavy today for you and those affected! 💔I feel so fortunate to have left the show when I did, but it breaks my heart for all those who were still there at the time. Hits so close to home and so much love to those who lost love ones..we really do need change!🥺
