The youngest victim of the shooting rampage in Arizona has been laid to rest. More than 2,000 people packed a Tucson church Thursday to remember nine-year-old Christina Taylor Green. The third-grade student had recently been elected to her school’s student council. She was among the six people killed when alleged shooter Jared Lee Loughner opened fire at a Tucson grocery store on Saturday, also wounding 13 others, including Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ). Outside the church, hundreds of people lined the streets to mourn Christina’s death. Arizona resident Ken Locklin noted the significance of Christina’s birthdate — September 11, 2001.

Ken Locklin: “It’s unfortunately that her life was book-ended by two tragedies — you know, tragedy when she was born in terms of 9/11, and then this is a tragic event in terms of what’s happened. So, we’re just here to try to do what we can for the family and let them know that we support them, and it was such a heinous crime that was committed against their daughter, but that we’re here for them.”
