Two years ago, Christina Grimmie came out on to The Voice like a wrecking ball, and now we all feel like we were hit by wrecking ball after hearing about her senseless death. The 22 year old singer was and shot and killed last night while signing autographs after a show in Orlando, Fl.
Orlando police said a 27 year old man from Florida traveled to the concert armed with two handguns, 2 additional magazines and a hunting knife approached and shot her. Then her brother, Marcus Grimmie, tackled the shooter to the ground. The shooter then shot and killed himself. As of now, there is no motive for this horrific crime and it doesn’t seem like her knew her personally.
This will change the way we go to concerts and it will change the access we have to celebrities.
But now let’s not think about that, let’s remember Christina Grimmie and pray for her family and friends as they deal with the unimaginable. A young beautiful light snuffed out way before her time.
