Officials have released the name of the 9 year-old girl killed in the shooting of Gabby Giffords and 18 others in Tucson today. Her name is Christina Taylor Green, and a neighbor had brought her along to the Safeway to meet Rep. Giffords because she thought she would enjoy it.

Christina has recently been elected to serve on her school’s student council, and was active in baseball and ballet. And according to the NBC DC affiliate and the Sydney Morning Herald, she was born on 9/11 and was included in the book “Faces of Hope, Babies Born on 9/11.”

"Christina has recently been elected to serve on her school’s student council..."

3. On the CNN website, some idiot posted a comment on her story...

...expressing "sympathy" and calling on parents everywhere to protect their children by "keeping them away from political events." :puke:
