“I know there is some that will say it’s my fault and I take full responsibility for it but please please keep my baby girl in your prayers Las Vegas,” Gayles’ father, Dwight, tweeted. “I will give everyone that support Aaliyah an update but she’s ok she go make it like always thank you all, true warrior.”

USC coach Lindsay Gottlieb confirmed the news of the shooting to ESPN.

“Aaliyah is one of the strongest, most resilient young people I have ever known,” Gottlieb said. “I have no doubt she will continue to face this unfathomable situation with courage and resolve. We will continue to support her and her parents in every way that we possibly can.”
