Christina Grimmie, a singer known for competing on The Voice, is in critical condition Friday night after she was shot after a concert in Orlando, authorities confirmed.

Grimmie and the pop/punk band Before You Exit were signing autographs and selling merchandise after their show at the Plaza Live Theater when a man walked up to her and shot her, Orlando Sgt. Wanda Miglio said in a news conference streamed on video.

Grimmie's brother tackled the shooter. The suspect then shot himself.

The shooter, who was not identified, is dead, Miglio said. She said she has no information about the type of gun used, the motive or whether he and Grimmie knew each other.

Grimmie, who started out performing music on YouTube, is known for competing on The Voice in 2014. She finished in third place.

UPDATE: She has tragically passed away :( 

(CNN)Singer Christina Grimmie, who starred in NBC's "The Voice," died early Saturday after a gunman shot her following a performance in Florida, authorities said.

A man armed with two guns walked up to the 22-year-old singer as she was signing autographs late Friday night and opened fire, Orlando Police spokeswoman Wanda Ford said.

The gunman fatally shot himself after Grimmie's brother tackled him, according to authorities.

"Her brother is a hero for saving and stopping him from not hurting anyone else," Ford said.

UPDATE: 

The suspected attacker, identified as 27-year-old Kevin James Loibl of St. Petersburg, Florida, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound after he was tackled by the 22-year-old singer’s brother, police said.

Authorities believe the suspect traveled to Orlando to carry out the attack Friday evening. They said he had two loaded handguns, additional ammunition and a hunting knife at the time of the shooting.

Orlando Police Chief John Mina told reporters the suspect did not appear to have a criminal record and there was no indication he and Grimmie knew each other. Mina said it appeared he may have been a deranged fan.

Oh, gosh.  How can someone be so horrible to do such a thing?!  

She is a wonderful singer and person, I wonder what the shooter's motive was... but we'll most likely never know. :ohno:

Hopefully her condition doesn't worsen and will be able to fully recover.

My god :omg: 

 

 

I really really really hope she's okay. I actually occasionally watched her videos in the past, and nobody deserves a death like this! I wonder what the reason for the shooter was... crazy fan?
