PREVIOUS 11:35 PM: Christina Grimmie, a finalist on NBC’s The Voice season 6, is hospitalized and in critical condition after being shot by an unidentified assailant in Orlanda, Florida music venue The Plaza Live, authorities have confirmed.
Selena Gomez did not have time to grieve and process the death of her good friend Christina Grimmie, who passed away after being shot and killed Friday night.
“We don’t know if he was just a insane fan that followed her on Twitter or on the social media”.
“It does appear that he came here to commit this crime”, Mina said. According to an employee at the hospital, Christina died shortly after she was brought to the ER.
She was shot by a lone gunman who then killed himself in the aftermath of a concert.
At the time of the shooting, 120 people were inside the venue, which was being patrolled by unarmed security guards. “We really don’t know … it’s undetermined at this point”. So far, there is no evidence suggesting that Grimmie knew her attacker.
He often performed with Christina and helped her out with her YouTube videos.
But Mina says there were no metal detectors or pat-downs of people as they entered The Plaza, a converted Space Age movie house.
While singing “Nobody”, Gomez became overwhelmed with emotion and was seen mouthing “I’m sorry” to her fans as she struggled to finish the song.
Grimmie’s former “The Voice” coach, Adam Levine, also expressed his sadness over the young singer’s unfortunate passing by posting a throwback photo of him and Grimmie on Instagram. Attractive member of “The Voice family” and true fighter.
The police chief praised Ms Grimmie’s brother Marcus. I cried when she followed and replied to me on Twitter.
