TUCSON, Ariz. - A 9-year-old girl was among the five who died in a shooting rampage in Tucson Saturday afternoon.

KTAR talked exclusively with her uncle Greg Segalini.

He described her as a "typical" girl who was bright, on student council and who loved ballet.

Segalini said the girl's family went to the event to meet Congresswoman Gabreille Giffords.

"They just went up there because they were having the political rally.

"And the neighbor, who also was shot, thought it would be nice if she brought Christina up to the Safeway, just to you know, just to see it and the next thing you know this happened."
