Voice' singer Christina Grimmie fatally shot after Florida show

(Reuters) - A man thought to be a deranged fan fatally shot Christina Grimmie, a rising singing star who gained fame on YouTube and as a contestant on television's "The Voice," while she was signing autographs after a concert in Orlando, Florida, police said on Saturday.

The suspect, identified as 27-year-old Kevin James Loibl of St. Petersburg, Florida, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound after he was tackled by the 22-year-old singer's brother in the Friday evening attack, Orlando police said.

Loibl is believed to have traveled to Orlando for the event. He had two loaded handguns, additional ammunition and a hunting knife at the time of the shooting, police said.

Orlando Police Chief John Mina told reporters the suspect did not appear to have a criminal record and there was no indication he and Grimmie knew each other. Mina said it appeared he may have been a deranged fan.

"We believe he came here to commit this crime," Mina said.

Grimmie, who had just performed as the opening act for the band Before You Exit, was inside the Plaza Live concert hall signing autographs at the time of the shooting.

The suspect approached Grimmie and opened fire. He was then rushed by the singer's brother.

"Her brother, Marcus, is a hero and possibly saved countless other lives. He is not injured," Orlando police said in a statement, adding there were about 120 people at the venue at the time.

Christina Grimmie was taken to a local hospital in critical condition and died early Saturday morning. The suspect died at the scene of the shooting.

Although patrons had their bags and purses checked for weapons at the venue, there were no metal detectors and the security guards were unarmed, Mina said.

今回の記事で気になった単語は、"deranged"です。
LDOCEで調べると、"someone who is deranged behaves in a crazy or dangerous way, usually because they are mentally ill"とありました。
また、『ジーニアス英和辞典』第4版(大修館)では、「(人が)精神錯乱の」と載っていました。
因みに、動詞で"derange"は、1.「(人)を狂わせる」2.「…を混乱させる、(器官や機能などの調子)を狂わせる」という意味があります。

したがってここでは、"deranged fan"で、「精神錯乱の(気が狂った)ファン」となります。(Akim)
