Celebrities often tweet their support after a national tragedy — but most of them aren’t usually present at one.
Immediately after Tuesday’s terror attack in New York City — in which a rental truck plowed into innocent people on a bike path, killing eight and injuring nearly a dozen more — Josh Groban tweeted his own harrowing tale of being RIGHT THERE walking his dog.

In fact, his pup, Sweeney Todd, may have saved his life.

Oh my god I just heard gun shots and ran with my dog. Downtown. Fuck.

I hope everyone’s ok. Was half a block from me, didn’t see it but heard 8-10 quick rounds fired off. Be safe with your kids out there.

I’m shaking. That’s the corner I was supposed to have my coffee but my dog pulled me into the park half a block away 10 min before shooting. https://t.co/AvQeRv7Jha
