THE VOICE : SEASON 6 FINALIST CHRISTINA GRIMMIE SHOT DEAD AFTER CONCERT IN ORLANDO

The Voice Season 6 alumni Christina Grimmie was shot dead moments after her concert in Orlando, Florida. Grimmie, only 22 years old, performed with the band Before You Exit.

After the show, the band and the singer stayed to sign for autographs. The shooter apparently walked towards her and shot her. Grimmie's brother tackled the suspect but the suspect also shot himself. Grimmie was bought to the hospital at serious condition and eventually died.

Grimmie was a 4-chair turner in the talent show with her blind audition of Wrecking Ball by Miley Cyrus. She eventually joined Team Adam and worked with coach Adam Levine of Maroon 5. She made it up to end of the show, eventually placing third in the season finally, behind season 6 runner up Jake Worthington and winner Josh Kauffman.

Here is Grimmie's blind audition video :



Orlando police confirmed the incident with a series of tweets in their official Twitter account :






We pray for the soul of Christina Grimmie - such a loss to the music industry.
