Christina was shot and killed Saturday, along with five other people killed outside a supermarket where a neighbor had taken her to meet Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. The brown-eyed athletic 9-year-old girl was an aspiring politician and had just been elected to the student council at Tucson's Mesa Verde Elementary School. Inspired by a tragedy on her birth date, Sept. 11, 2001, another national tragedy took the third-grader's life.
Our condolences go out to this family at their loss and to the other families who have experienced the same during this awful time.
