BTW: Are you referring to The Voice's Christina Grimmie, who was fatally shot by a crazed fan at a meet-and-greet Friday night in Orlando? Or the gay nightclub shooting (also in O-town)?

How quick folks are to just jump on whatever rumor they saw on social media as fact. It makes me sick. People WANT to be afraid. They WANT to be told what to do. It's crazy.
