the first time I heard christina grimmie sing it was like heavens doors opened up
00:00:08
[Music] her voice was incredibly powerful I felt blown away when I first heard her
00:00:21
sing [Music] first time I heard wrecking ball was on the very first episode of The Voice
00:00:32
people might look at her and see you know just another performer but she was so much more than that
00:00:38
[Music] I described christina grimmie as a person is lovable she's just lovable I'm Tyler Ward and christina grimmie was
00:00:53
one of my favorite people on the planet did you ever think what happened to Christina would ever occur and you never
00:01:02
think in your entire life ever that something like this would ever happen ever ever ever like you just just
00:01:12
doesn't happen but it did but it did she had no idea that she had a stalker at the time that she took the stage here in
00:01:22
Orlando that night there was nothing to indicate to her or anyone around her that there was somebody coming to the
00:01:31
concert that night meaning to do her harm can see here that he's just by himself just staying in the back during
00:01:41
the concert when I first heard about it it was so surreal completely surreal I thought it was a joke
00:01:50
[Music] she opened her arms to hug the stranger and then was shot that poor girl that
00:01:58
poor sweet girl with her arms wide open just heartbreaking do you feel that could be you I think
00:02:06
every victim feels like that it could be this I'm pauley perrette I am an actress on
00:02:13
NCIS I have been stalked for over a decade and I'm working very hard to change stalking law christina is injured
00:02:25
she was transported to the hospital there's no way that you can't consider the endgame how was he gonna kill me one
00:02:34
day I went to my house I'm hiding in the closet we often hear 9-1-1 calls and the
00:02:43
stories of celebrities that are being stalked that is of course terrifying most people think celebrities the only
00:02:57
ones that are stalked is that's the only ones that make the news but people are stalked every day in every town in
00:03:03
America I'm not a celebrity and I was stalked by a man that I had a very brief relationship with being stalked is like
00:03:17
being a prisoner that doesn't end I mean it would happen to somebody else but not Christina what happened to
00:03:33
Christina Grimmie that should be a huge wake-up call anyone anyone watching this at any time
00:03:39
could suddenly become the victim of stalker [Music]
