Green’s Grandaughter Killed in AZ Shooting
As details of Saturday’s shootings in Tuscon, Arizona continue to be sorted out, the tragedy has hit home for the Philadelphia Phillies and Major League Baseball.

The 9-year-old girl who was shot and killed in an attempted assassination of a U.S. Congresswoman was the granddaughter of former Phillies manager Dallas Green.

Christina-Taylor Green was shot outside a grocery store where Arizona Representative Gabrielle Giffords was meeting with constituents when a gunman began shooting.

Thirteen people were wounded, and six died from their injuries, including Green, who was attending the meeting with a neighbor, who was also injured in the shooting.

“The Phillies organization expresses our heartfelt condolences to Dallas and Sylvia and the entire Green family on the senseless, tragic loss of Christina’s life,” Phillies president David Montgomery said in a statement. “She was a talented young girl with a bright promising future. Her untimely death weighs heavily on our hearts. Our thoughts and prayers are with all the families affected by yesterday’s horrific shooting.”

2. It is just heartbreaking to hear that little girl's story. She made quite an impact in

her short life. Times like this I almost feel the death penalty is a good thing...but not quite.
