Christina Grimmie Is Dead After Shooting Erupts During Show

After a gunman opened fire at a Florida concert venue as singer Christina Grimmie signed autographs for fans after a show, directing a shot at her, Grimmie has finally succumbed to her injuries and has passed on.

A publicist for Christina Grimmie, Heather Walsh announced her death saying; “we can confirm that Christina has passed and went home to be with the Lord”.

The Orlando police department also confirmed on its official Twitter page that Grimmie had died. Police said that the 22-year-old singer had performed with the band Before You Exit at The Plaza Live in Orlando.

Grimmie’s brother immediately tackled the gunman, who then shot and killed himself during the struggle, police said.  The gunman was not identified, and police have not said why he attacked the singer. An investigation is ongoing, but police credited the singer’s brother with preventing the gunman from hurting others.
