One of the six people murdered was a nine year old child.
Her name was Christina Taylor Green. She was from Tuscon. She was the youngest victim of what happened today.
She had just been elected to the student body council at her school. One of her neghbours invited her to Representive Giffords event because they thought she would enoy the experience.
"The next thing you know this happened. How do you prepare for something like this. My little niece got killed-took one on the chest and she is dead,"
That was from her heartbroken Uncle.
Christina loved to play baseball and took part in ballet.
A nine year old girl is dead. Her family has lost their precious loved child.
There are no words to express how i felt reading this story and what I feel is nothing compared to what her family is feeling.
As a mother of a ten year old son, my heart and thoughts are with this family tonight.
She isn't a statistic. She isn't just a name in the newspaper. She was a living breathing child. Who had her own dreams and favorite things. Now in a split second her family won't get to see her graduate high school, maybe college. Won't get to see her succeed in whatever she wanted to do. Won't get to see her fall in love with a special person. All her family is left with are tears and memories.

RT @KOLD_news13: The 9-year-old shot dead today at the Giffords event was featured in a book “Faces of Hope: Babies Born on 9/11."
And for god's sake, she was only Nine years old.

They all have families, all of them! (1+ / 0-)
18 people wounded, 6 dead. The judge, the congresswoman, the little girl, every one. How many of us can understand their suffering and anguish? We can try to understand people, people doing evil and people in such pain. More victims may die, some who survive will be changed forever and suffer in the future. Their families are changed forever.
