Singer Christina Grimmie has died at 22 years old.
"It is with a heavy heart that we can confirm that Christina has passed and went home to be with the Lord," her publicist tells E! News.
"She was shot at her show in Orlando and, unfortunately, didn't survive the gun shot wounds. We ask at this time that you respect the privacy of her family and friends in their time of mourning. If you'd like to give back to Christina's family in her memory, please consider donating to the families GoFundMe page in their time of need."
The former Voice contestant was taken to a local hospital tonight in Orlando, Fla., tonight after being shot by a male suspect, who proceeded to shoot himself.
Members of the band Before You Exit were signing autographs after a concert at Orlando's Plaza Live when a male suspect shot Grimmie.
"Upon arrival officers found the male suspect, who was deceased and one victim who was gravely injured. That victim, singer Christina Grimmie, was transported to the hospital with critical injuries," the Orlando Police tells E! News.
I don't know how many people here knew her, but this honestly hit me a little bit. I watched her on the voice, and before that I used to regularly watch her on Youtube for years. She was an excellent singer and a very fun and charismatic person and this is an absolute tragedy. This is why we need better security, perfect example of a girl welcoming someone with open arms and he shoots her.
