Aubrey O'Day Safe After Seattle Nightclub Shooting on Christmas Eve
December 26, 2012

Aubrey O'Day** had quite an eventful Christmas Eve.

Police in Bellevue, Washington, are searching for 19-year-old Ja'mari Alexander Alan Jones, who is accused of shooting and killing a patron and injuring another at the city's popular Munchbar just after 1 a.m. Dec. 24. The crime occurred a few hours after Seattle Seahawks beat the San Francisco 49ers for a spot in the NFL playoffs.

Witnessing the incident herself, O'Day, 28, wrote about it in a series of Twitter posts. "Supposedly someone was shooting in the club and we had to duck on the floor. Security pulled us out. Wtf?!" the former Danity Kane singer tweeted. "[I have] never been in a situation like that. Everyone was screaming on the floor [and] we had to crawl out the kitchen."

The ex-Celebrity Apprentice contestant also shared a picture of police cars via Instagram. "Sh-t is crazy. I'm telling you. Everyone was on the floor. People got shot," O'Day wrote in the caption. "WTF."

The "Wrecking Ball" singer tells Us Weekly the incident was "so sad and scary. They really need to tighten up gun control."

In addition to O'Day, several members of the Seattle Seahawks were celebrating at the local hot spot when the shooting occurred. "I'm good!" the team's defensive end, Greg Scruggs, tweeted. "Everybody else is good, too! Ignorance at its best right there."

Speaking to reporters, Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said, "From what we know our guys were in a separate area and nobody was involved at all. It was an awful thing that happened."

Gun control has nothing to do with it. You can buy a gun off the street in a matter of minutes. The people that legally get firearms and go to the class and get CWP are usually getting the gun to protect their home and family. Not shooting at a bar.

Wow such a sad story. Tragic that another life was taken due to violence and stupidity. I gotta admit that there were lots of great posts regarding this article. Glad to see that most people have enough common sense to realize that 99% of these shootings are by people who obtain firearms illegally. I'm not necessarily a gun toter myself, but I don't believe that sane,law abiding citizens should lose their amendment given right to protect themselves. Also,agree with the posts regarding mental health issues, and the lack of affordable and readily available treatment. I think it would be a great idea to make people applying to buy a firearm of any kind to have to pass some kind of mental health screening though. Couldn't hurt imo.

Sorry but with my husband working graveyard shift, anyone in my house that's not supposed to be there will be shot first, then I'll ask questions later. Both my father and husband taught me how to shoot for my protection.

I will die holding on to my gun. It is my protection in this crazy (and getting crazier world). I havent heard anything about what is going to be done to get help for ppl with mental illness. That would solve more problems anyway. Making more affordable places available for ppl to go that know they r not right could help many from going off the **** end and hurting others. But no bc thats not apart of the agenda, right?
