ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — A gunman who shot and killed a singer who rose to fame after appearing on "The Voice" traveled to Orlando from another Florida city specifically to attack her and then fatally shot himself, authorities said Saturday.
Orlando Police Chief John Mina said at a news conference that the suspect, identified as 27-year-old Kevin Loibl of St. Petersburg, Florida, didn't appear to know Christina Grimmie personally. Grimmie was shot to death after giving a concert in Orlando on Friday night. She died early Saturday.
"She was doing a meet-and-greet, just signing autographs and selling merchandise. This white male approached her and opened fire, striking her," Mina said. "We believe he came here to commit this crime."
The 22-year-old singer from New Jersey finished third during season six of NBC's "The Voice" in 2014, competing on the team of Maroon 5 star Adam Levine. She began amassing a following on YouTube as a teenager, gripping online viewers with her powerful renditions of hit songs. Her videos on YouTube have garnered millions of views.
In an earlier statement, police said Grimmie had performed with the band Before You Exit at The Plaza Live in Orlando. The concert ended around 10 p.m., and Grimmie was shot as she signed autographs for fans at a merchandise table in The Plaza Live concert venue.
Grimmie's brother, Marcus, immediately tackled the gunman, who then shot and killed himself during the struggle, police said. They credited the singer's brother with preventing the gunman from hurting others. Around 120 others were in The Plaza Live at the time.
"Very heroic actions by Marcus Grimmie to jump in and it definitely could have prevented further loss of life," Mina said.
After the concert, 17-year-old Kaitlin Martin was standing with a group of other fans outside The Plaza Live, waiting for members of Before You Exit to come out, when she heard several loud "pops."
"We thought at first they were balloons ... but then security started running all over the place yelling at people to get out because someone has a gun and someone is shooting. Everyone is just running all over the place," said Martin, who traveled to see to the concert from Brunswick, Georgia. "It was chaos."
Martin said she was unsettled knowing the suspect had watched the concert in the same audience she was in.
"This person was in the crowd with us, and while we were singing, having a great time, he was there with different intentions," she said.
Detectives were searching Loibl's cellphone and social media accounts looking for clues as to a motive, Mina said, but they weren't aware of any history of stalking of Grimmie by the suspect.
Horrified to hear the news about Christina Grimmie. Too young & too much talent to leave us this soon. Sending 2 her loved ones & fans.

At Loibl's home, in St. Petersburg, someone had left a note on the front door, expressing the "deepest sorrow" for the loss "to the family, friends & fans of the very talented, loving Christina Grimmie." The note said there would be no other comment. No one answered the door to the one-story house that had a rusted, metal animal trap in the yard.

Loibl had on him two handguns, two loaded magazines and a hunting knife, Mina said.
There were unarmed security guards at The Plaza Live and they checked bags and purses for contraband, but there were no metal detectors or pat-downs of people as they entered The Plaza Live, he said.
A spokeswoman said all events at The Plaza Live had been suspended until further notice.
Loibl had made travel arrangements to come to Orlando alone, as well as travel arrangements to go back home, but he didn't have a car, Mina said. The police chief wouldn't elaborate further.
Grimmie had posted a video of herself shortly before the concert was scheduled to begin, encouraging fans to come see her perform.
Levine posted a photo of himself with Grimmie on Instagram, commenting before her death was confirmed: "I'm sad, shocked and confused. We love you so much Grimmie. We are all praying hard that you can pull through this ... this just isn't fair."

The Philadelphia Inquirer reported in 2014 that Grimmie moved to Los Angeles in 2012 after joining Selena Gomez on tour to focus on her singing career.
"I'm done being surprised by cool things she does. She's very talented and she's worked incredibly hard — it's a dangerous combination," her brother told the newspaper at the time.

(AP) A gunman opened fire at a Florida concert venue as a onetime star of "The Voice" signed autographs for fans after a show, killing the performer before fatally shooting himself, officials said Saturday.
A publicist for Christina Grimmie, Heather Walsh, said in an email early Saturday that "we can confirm that Christina has passed and went home to be with the Lord." The Orlando Police Department also confirmed on its official Twitter page that Grimmie had died.
With deep regret, we have confirmed Christina Grimmie, @TheRealGrimmie has died from her injuries.

Grimmie, a New Jersey native, finished third during season six of NBC's "The Voice" in 2014, competing on the team of Maroon 5 star Adam Levine. She began amassing a following on YouTube as a teenager, gripping online viewers with her powerful renditions of hit songs. Her videos on YouTube have garnered millions of views.
Police said in a news release that the 22-year-old singer had performed with the band Before You Exit at The Plaza Live in Orlando. The concert ended around 10 p.m., and Grimmie was shot as she signed autographs for fans at a merchandise table.
Grimmie's brother immediately tackled the gunman, who then shot and killed himself during the struggle, police said. The gunman was not identified, and police have not said why he attacked the singer. An investigation is ongoing, but police credited the singer's brother with preventing the gunman from hurting others.
Sgt. Wanda Miglio said during a news conference after the shooting that about 60 to 100 people were in attendance, though only a handful remained when the shooting happened.
Miglio said she did not know what security was like at the venue, or how the shooter got two guns inside. She also said she did not know if off-duty officers were working the concert.
"It was just a casual event," she said.
Grimmie had posted a video of herself shortly before the concert was scheduled to begin, encouraging fans to come see her perform.

(Philadelphia Inquirer) Philadelphia police are investigating an allegation that Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor sexually assaulted an exotic dancer Thursday at a South Philadelphia strip club.
The Eagles on Friday confirmed that Agholor was being investigated by police.
Agholor's attorney Fortunato Perri Jr. said his client "has not engaged in any criminal conduct."
Nelson Agholor
At a news conference Friday afternoon at the Police Administration Building, police spokesman Lt. John Stanford declined to identify the person under investigation because no charges had been filed. He said the probe was being conducted by the Special Victims Unit, which handles allegations of sexual misconduct.
"We are aware of the police investigation involving Nelson Agholor," the Eagles said in a statement. "The organization has been in contact with Nelson and with the proper authorities in Philadelphia."
Stanford said the accusation was made by a 27-year-old woman who works at Cheerleaders Gentlemen's Club, at Front Street and Oregon Avenue. The alleged incident took place about 3 p.m. Thursday at the club and was reported later that evening, Stanford said.
Attorney Perri said of Agholor: "We are confident that he will not be charged with a crime."
Connor Barwin and Fletcher Cox were the two other #Eagles with Nelson Agholor at Cheerleaders. Barwin said he left before alleged incident.

Eagles linebacker Connor Barwin said that he and Eagles defensive end Fletcher Cox had accompanied Agholor to Cheerleaders, but that Barwin had departed before the alleged incident.

Barwin released a statement regarding his attendance at the club.
"As a result of my name being mentioned in conjunction with this alleged incident, I would like to clarify that I was only present at the establishment for a very short period of time and have no knowledge about anything that happened after I left the establishment. I stopped by there for about a half hour to meet my teammates, and left at around 2:30 pm."
It was not immediately known whether surveillance footage of the alleged incident exists, Stanford said, adding that the club is equipped with cameras.
Agholor, 23, a native of Nigeria, played college football at USC. He was the Eagles' 2015 first-round draft pick and the 20th overall pick in that year's NFL draft.

Telemundo reporter Iris Delgado couldn't even get through her live broadcast Wednesday, June 8, without getting punched in the face.
Delgado was broadcasting from Philadelphia City Hall when a woman approached from her right, touched her arm and said, "Excuse me, excuse me."
The reporter obviously couldn't stop to answer questions and continued doing her job.
At that point the woman hauls off and snuffs Delgado in the face. The anchor yells "¡Ay Dios mio!" (Oh Lord), as the camera cuts back to the studio.
TMZ reports that police were called. Delgado told them that the right side of her head was hurting.
The assailant was hauled off to jail.

Muhammad Ali and his innermost circle started a document years ago that grew so thick they began calling it "The Book."
In the pages, the boxing great planned in exacting detail how he wished to say goodbye to the world.
"The message that we'll be sending out is not our message — this was really designed by The Champ himself," said Timothy Gianotti, an Islamic studies scholar who for years helped to plan the services.
"The love and the reverence and the inclusivity that we're going to experience over the coming days is really a reflection of his message to the people of planet Earth."
The 74-year-old three-time heavyweight champion wanted the memorial service in an arena. He wanted multiple religions to have a voice while honoring the traditions of his Muslim faith. And he wanted ordinary fans to attend, not just VIPs.

On June 12, 2015 YG was shot in the hip at a recording studio in Studio City, California. To this day he doesn't know who fired at him or why.
It's made the Compton native paranoid and unable to trust people. Friends suggested he go talk to a professional therapist about it.
That birthed a new YouTube special called "YG and the Therapist," which will air on Sunday, June 12, at 10 PM EST on VICELAND.
