Christina Grimmie’s coach Adam Levine, along with other stars from The Voice, expressed their grief and shock over her death. Grimmie, who was on Team Adam during season 6, was shot to death while signing autographs after a show in Orlando, Florida. The police are saying that it’s they believe the man who shot her was a deranged fan. After the suspect opened fire, Grimmie’s brother Mark tackled him before he shot himself. Grimmie was taken to the hospital and later died.
Levine told PEOPLE “[My wife] Behati and I are absolutely devastated and heartbroken by Christina Grimmie’s tragic death. Our hearts go out to her family. Christina was a natural, a gifted talent that comes along so rarely. She was taken from us too soon.
“This is yet another senseless act of extreme violence. I am left stunned and confused how these things can conceivably continue to happen in our world.” MORE
