Selena Gomez is mourning the death of her friend, Christina
Grimmie who was gunned in Orlando, Florida on Friday night, as she has canceled
her fan meet and greet scheduled to take place at her concert in Miami on
Saturday night.
The news, confirmed by E!, came just hours after
the singer, 23, posted an emotional tribute to news of Christina Grimmie's
death.
'My heart is absolutely broken. I miss you Christina,'
Selena wrote alongside a photo of herself with Christina, who was an opening
act and backup dancer for her.
Selena still plans to go ahead with Saturday's concert at
Miami's American Airlines Arena, although she and her team are clearly anxious
about security in the wake of Christina's senseless killing.
22-year-old Christina was gunned down Friday night as she
signed autographs for fans after performing in Orlando, Florida.
Kevin James Lobil, 27, drove from his home in St Petersburg
to the gig armed with two handguns and a knife before opening fire during the
meet and greet.
The deranged fan was tackled by Christina's brother Marcus
before turning one of his two handguns on himself in a murder-suicide.
This afternoon a hastily-scribbled note was found pinned to
the door of his house, which he shares with his parents, which says: 'Deepest
sorrow for lost [sic] to the family, friends and fans of the very talented,
loving Christina Grimmie. No other comments.'
