R.I.P.

Helluva shame - she had a life of success ahead, cut short by some nameless psychopath.

“Detectives were told the suspect, who is not being identified at this time, walked toward Christina and shot her. Christina’s brother immediately tackled the suspect stopping him from causing any more harm to Christina and her fans. During the struggle, the suspect shot himself. The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene.”

I never heard of her before, But she appears wholesome


According to wicki;


Christina Victoria Grimmie (March 12, 1994 – June 11, 2016)[1] was an American singer and songwriter known for participating in The Voice and for her covers of hit songs by contemporary pop musicians. In June 2011, she released her debut EP, Find Me. In June 2012, she told a reporter that she wanted to stop doing covers and start writing only original music.[2]

In 2014, Grimmie participated in Season 6 of NBC's singing competition The Voice and finished in third place. Adam Levine, her coach on the show, announced in the finale that regardless of the results, he was signing Grimmie to his label, 222 Records. Justin Bieber and Lil Wayne also supported Grimmie on the show and Lil Wayne offered to sign Grimmie on his label, Young Money Entertainment.[3] She signed to Island Records[4] for a short time before being dropped by them.[5]

On June 10, 2016, Grimmie was shot by an unidentified male following a Before You Exit concert in Orlando, Florida. The suspect committed suicide. She was hospitalized in critical condition, and pronounced dead hours later.[6]

I’d never heard of her, but after listening just now to her singing on a couple posts, she had a very pleasant style, and a great voice. She would have gone far. What a shame.

I knew her and her family. She was a devout believer in the Lord Jesus Christ. So was her family. She is in heaven now. I cannot believe this happened. She was amazing. She sang for God and her voice was incredible. Dear Lord - please bring comfort to her family. Please.

Pray for her family. They are believers in the Lord Jesus - and so was she. She was also so sweet and kind.

May she rest in God’s eternal peace and may her friends and family find solace in God’s love.

Now the question is, what jail, rubber room, or other country should the shooter have been in but wasn’t ?

Never heard her before. What a shame — she was a beautiful singer and seemed to be a positive influence in an industry plagued by sin. There is truly evil in this world!

God bless her family during this horrible time. She now sings with angels.

Indeed. Never heard of her until now which is in a way too late but whatever she recorded will live on. RIP and thoughts and prayers for her family and friends.

Brings back memories of what happened to Rebecca Schaeffer years ago. Be prepared for the anti-gun push.

Like many others here, I never heard of her before, but she seemed to be just the kind of young person we need so much more of. So sad to see someone with so much promise cut off before she could fly.

But one important question - aren’t concert venues “gun free zones?”

I have to admit I never heard of this young woman until I saw a Freerepublic thread on her shooting late last night. Twenty-two years old is just way too young. What a terrible shame.
