I know this is weird, but 1 + 8 = 9, and she died in 2011.

Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords: The victims

by Daniel Gonzalez - Jan. 8, 2011 06:13 PM
The Arizona Republic

Most of the victims from Saturday's mass shooting in Tucson have not been identified but the dead include, an aide to Giffords, a federal judge and a 9-year-old girl. Two members of Rep. Gabrielle Gifford's staff also were wounded in the attack. The Giffords aide was identified as Gabe Zimmerman, her community outreach director; the 30-year-old was engaged to be married.

U.S. District Judge John Roll, the chief judge for the District of Arizona, was killed while apparently attending a public appearance by Giffords outside a Safeway store north of Tucson, U.S. Marshall David Gonzales confirmed to the Associated Press.

Also killed was 9-year-old Christina Taylor Green of Tucson. A neighbor was going to the Giffords event and invited Christina along because she thought she would enjoy it, said her uncle, Greg Segalini. Christina had just been elected to the student council at her school. The event, held outside a Safeway supermarket north of Tucson, was an opportunity for constituents to meet Giffords and talk about any concerns they had related to the federal government.

"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," Segalini said outside the girl's house. Christina was involved in many activities, from ballet to baseball, Segalini said.

"She was real special and real sweet," Segalini said.

12. Murdered because she wanted to participate in her democracy.

To think of the message this sends to children across this country.
