Police identified the wounded victim as Grimmie, a 22-year-old singer who finished third on The Voice in 2014.

I added the banglist keyword because this incident is going to raise another gun control howl.
She has my prayers.

There may have been security. Who knows. These freaks can weasel their way in pretty much at an event like this.
I also believe it’s an aspect of herding the masses.
The way these things are covered, and the way our television shows show massive violence these days, it’s like a breakdown of normal boundaries.
Evil is flourishing.
I have to say, there’s some truth to that.
People have commented on there that she did not make it. Not sure if true or not. How very sad.
Oh no!
Orlando Police just said on twitter she is still alive and they have no further updates. I have been watching the local Orlando news and they say she is in critical condition so she is still alive.
Prayers for her full recovery.
I do remember her but I can’t think of who was her coach on the Voice. They are very protective of their mentees so I bet whoever it is is pretty miserable right now.
This is a godawfully tragic situation.
Brings to mind the Rebecca Schaeffer case. She was an 80s TV actress who was gunned down in front of her very home by a deranged stalker, a fate met by too many rising stars and talented individuals like John Lennon, Schaeffer and now Christina...
Pray she pulls through, if the reports of her passing are indeed false
Stacie Orrico is the dtr of my spouse’s cousin....
I think it was Usher
No, I was wrong, it was Adam
Adam was her coach. I’m betting he is pretty torn up about this!
Messed up stalker...so sad.
It’s all unjustifiable. We can see exactly what they’re trying to do. Create something out of nothing. Like Teddy and the Chicago thing. Talk about irresponsible and incendiary.
RIP dear child. Rest in the arms of Jesus.
My daughter is a high school choir director. 4 years ago she earned a golden ticket on America Idol.
She loved Christina Grimme. Too late to call her tonight, but I know she’ll be devastated.
Yeah, Adam is the one who cares so much for his team that he actually told tales out of school on Howard Stern’s show. He dissed the producers as not caring enough about the contestants right when they are popular after the show, tossing them back to the record company that apparently also doesn’t promote them at all. He loves his team and was very frustrated at why they never get their fair shot after the show.
Who shot her, how awful. She was so darling. I pray she makes it.
