That's messed up man, such a young talent. Yet people in the USA still deny that guns aren't the problem.

 

This is such a tragedy, especially considering she was probably never involved in any illegal activity and just happened to be killed for no reason. At least her consciousness and her soul are with the creator now.

 

I hope that this makes more people wake up and become more involved in banning guns, but people are still going to defend the notion having guns. Rest in peace Christina.

I remember watching her on The Voice. Such a shame she had to pass away.

Wow...I'm literally speechless. I don't follow a lot of Youtube cover artists, but I always loved this girl's sound. She was so talented and really worked hard to get where she was. That's a crying shame to have such talent and passion destroyed at such a young age. God bless her soul.

I became a fan of hers back in '09 when she started, before she got the mass popularity that she gained especially from being on The Voice.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJ_40QzufYUHaven't been into her in recent years, but learning of her death just broke me up a little. She had an incredible voice. She didn't deserve to die so damn young and especially not the way she did die. RIP.

I read about this. So sad. I will pray for her soul and family.

I can't really agree with the gun part only because if he had intent to kill someone then he would have used something else. But, yeah that's really sad and messed up.

Oh my... This makes me SO mad. Humans are monsters. And what makes me even more mad is that people are LAUGHING and JOKING about this. Seriously? She was a young, innocent and talented girl, and you just think it's funny!? Why are humans so messed up?

I don't know how but this managed to get to my Whatsapp. Never heard about her, but this is really harsh, what a way of killing someone... and with no apparent reason.

It's one of those things you just can't believe. It sucks so firetrucking much.

Surely the sad and regrettable passing of Christina Grimmie is a wake up call that the US needs gun control? How the hell can their government allow people to be scared of going out in public in fear of it being their last day alive at the hands of some trigger happy psycho? I get the idea behind having a firearm, it's to protect yourself, but how can they not realise that people are using it for the exact opposite purpose, to hurt people. We've seen so many school shootings, we've seen so many people shot, we've seen lives wasted by a bullet. And Christina is sadly a victim of that. The US needs gun control, or it's a helpless nation. That is all.

I agree 100%
