TIL Desk Bollywood/ Singer Christina Grimmie, who starred in NBC‘s The Voice and was critically injured when a gunman shot her after a concert in Florida, has succumbed to her injuries, authorities said.
A man armed with two guns walked up to the singer as she was signing autographs Friday night and opened fire, Orlando Police spokeswoman Wanda Ford said.
Grimmie’s brother tackled the gunman, who fatally shot himself, according to authorities.
