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.

I would have immediately ripped his heart out like that dude from the Temple of Doom.

Looks similar to Robert Bardo, the schmuck who murdered Rebecca Shaffer(From My Sister Sam) because he was obsessed with her and if he couldnt have her, no one would..sick demanded individual..Christina’s brother is a hero, who knows how many others he would have murdered

I’ve been to a show or two at the Plaza. Saw the Alan Parsons Project there (sans original vocalist who passed away years ago).

Mid-size converted movie theater venue on the “seedy but hip” side of O-Town that can’t afford much security. It’s a shame since they mostly hosted small “one-hit wonder” bands and this horrible incident will probably close it down.

The liberals have had a free hand in our nation.

This is what they have led us to.

They’ve even tried to limit our ability to defend against guys like this.

What has all that gotten us?

We can’t even tell a child no, or that what they are doing is wrong. And yet, the Left thinks our society is better today because of them.

Time for a freaking smack down folks.

Scary. My son is a performer and I’ve seen people obsess over him. Not frequently but a few times. Very scary stuff.
