ORLANDO, Fla. — Wednesday marks a decade since the shooting death of singer Christina Grimmie in Orlando.
Grimmie was rising star who gained popularity from her appearance on the TV show “The Voice” and from her YouTube channel.
Police say a crazed fan shot her as she signed autographs after a concert at The Plaza Live in Orlando on the evening of June 10, 2016.
Grimmie had just finished performing and was in the theater’s lobby when it happened.
Police said the shooter then took his own life.
Grimmie was just 22 years old.
Her family has since created the Christina Grimmie Foundation in her name. The organization aims to help families of gun violence victims.
