The Pulse nightclub shooting came just over a day after another fatal shooting in Orlando. On Friday, a man identified as Kevin James Loibl fatally shot singer Christina Grimmie as she signed autographs after a concert. Known as a contestant on the show “The Voice,” Grimmie was 22 years old. Orlando Police Chief John Mina described the attack.
John Mina: “This white male approached her and opened fire, striking her. At that—almost immediately, her brother, Marcus Grimmie, tackled the suspect to the ground. Shortly after that, the suspect killed himself. And obviously, as we know, unfortunately, Christina Grimmie succumbed to those gunshot wounds and passed. The suspect had two handguns on his person. He had two additional loaded magazines for those handguns and a large hunting knife.”
