It was announced via Twitter on the evening of Friday, June 10, that former "The Voice" artist and Youtube singer Christina Grimmie was shot after a concert that she performed at while meeting fans and selling merchandise with the headline act.

It was then announced at 2:51 a.m. on Saturday, June 11, by the Orlando Police Department that Christina had passed away from her injuries.

Yet another life taken too soon. Everyday bright, talented and loved individuals die at the hands of gun violence.

There are a few things that bother me about this incident. Obviously, the main thing is that she was very young and very talented. It shocks me to think about the fact she was the same age as me and everything was gone within an instant. Her whole entire future, which was bright and promising, was taken away.

Secondly, as a music lover and concert goer, the fact that the suspect, who killed himself after the shooting, opened fire at a show. Christina was selling merch and meeting fans. She was doing what she loved and interacting with those who loved her.

Going to a concert to see an artist you really love is unlike any other feeling. You're there with people who feel the same as you do. You love the music. The atmosphere is exciting. A concert is a safe space to just escape everything that is going wrong in your life for a few hours.

For the shooter to not only target an artist but do so at a show is mind blowing to me. I cherish my concert experiences and never have I been concerned that someone had a gun on their person while in the venue. I have never feared for my life while at a concert. That was the one thing never on my mind. I've thought that the mosh pit is getting out of hand so maybe I need to get out. Or that guy over there is harassing a girl, let me tell security. But never has the thought of someone being killed at a show I'm attending has never been a worry of mine.

But now it will be. Christina didn't have the luxury to worry, though. She paid for someone else's decision.

Another problem I had with this situation is the fact that when you go to a concert, the venue takes the responsibility of keeping situations under control and keeping security and safety as a first priority. I live in Cleveland, and whenever I go to a larger venue, there is almost always bag checks, pat downs and even sometimes metal detectors or metal detector wands.

There has been talk that checks were performed at the venue Christina was attacked at but there are no metal detectors. I have trouble believing that they checked each attendee or at least patted them down. You would feel a gun in someone's pants, pockets or bag. You're supposed to check every bag. I mean, even when I take in a tiny purse that just has tampons and Chapstick in it, I have to empty it.

Not only did he have the gun he killed her with, but he had another gun and a hunting knife. The big concern here is how he got past security and how he carried these weapons the entire concert, surrounded by unsuspecting individuals.

The sad thing is that if security changes are made, it will be after the price has already been paid. Christina didn't have a chance. Now that she has died, if the venue doesn't make security changes then what have we learned?

Bottom line: there shouldn't have been anyway for someone to bring a firearm or other weapons into a supposed-to-be secure venue.

Not only was she killed, but people had to see it. Fans that loved her, her family members that attended the show -- people had to witness her life being taken away in a place where you would usually have no reason to worry about dying.

There needs to be and there had been a need to have a conversation about gun control. It is too easy for someone to go out there and obtain a weapon, legal or otherwise. All you have to do is get your license and buy one, and it's even easier to purchase illegally.

How many innocent people need to die before there are some serious policy changes on guns?

RIP Christina Grimmie. And everyone else that has been a victim of gun violence.
