Singer Christina Grimmie did not know the man who shot her, Orlando police say

Singer Christina Grimmie, who was shot and killed after her show in Orlando Friday night, did not know the man who shot her, Orlando police said.

The 27-year-old man, who police identified as Kevin James Loibl of St. Petersburg, travelled to The Plaza Live theater with two small-caliber handguns Friday night. He walked up to Grimmie, who was signing autographs after the show, and shot her at about 10:30 p.m., Police Chief John Mina said. Her brother immediately tackled the suspect and the man shot himself at the scene.

Emptiness keeps on trying to defeat holiness.

It can’t.

She was not destroyed — her locale was moved, to heaven.

Maybe she was so blessed that heaven was the place God needed her to be.

My brother, Jeffery, was her Producer. This is their latest song, which I think most Freepers might appreciate. Such a loss.

We do need to be sure that what we state is based in both truth and mercy.

There are tyrannical households that produce monsters.

This is an affair of the spiritual realm, not of the sensual realm.

False flag! Was this perp seeing the same psychiatrist Chris Kyle’s killer was seeing?

I wonder if he was on antidepressants.

There is evil in the world and a rising young Christian singer became a target. The killer influenced by the devil to commit this terrible act? Some would say yes and I’m not so sure I wouldn’t disagree with them.

Just terribly sad. Prayers for her brother who is going to need a lot of time to heal from something that horrific. So sorry for their family.

An important question here. I saw somewhere of FR a read out of what seemed to be mindless, senseless killers. All were on, or had been on antidepressants. The whole medical system needs an in depth review regarding their use.

Probably because of that smug look of satisfaction on his face.

It's hard for normal people to hate with the intensity of homosexuals.

Brevik, the Norwegian nutcase who blew up buildings and killed all those kids on that island.

With all that’s going on, it HAS to be true. My brother’s kids are now very famous, worldwide. He wisely pulled them off social media. It was getting too scary.

“My brother Billy was her producer. This is their latest song.”

https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=07Qaq0xsgjc

Thank you. I just listened to that. Title: I Bet You Don’t Curse God.

IMO that song has the makings of a smash hit, like Carrie Underwood’s Jesus Take The Wheel. Every one of Christina Grimmie’s songs I’ve listened to were quality, though most were covers.
This latest one was original?
This evil man tried to silence this beautiful young woman’s voice and her faith example. Please tell your brother not to let that happen.
Release that record. Get it on the radio, coast to coast.
