Rest in Peace, Christina Taylor Greene
Heartbreaking and tragic.
(KIDK) — The identity of the nine-year-old tragically killed in Saturday morning’s shooting rampage in Tucson, Arizona is Christina Taylor Greene.
Greene is one of six killed in front of a Safeway grocery store while awaiting to talk to Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords who had set up a townhall-style meet and greet event. Five people died at the scene. Greene died at a local hospital.
Greene’s family says she was vibrant, excited about life, and she was the “best daughter in the world.”
Born September 11, 2001, Greene was excited about the political process, was on the student government, and went to the Giffords event Saturday to learn more about the political process, family members say.
Greene attended Mesa Verde Elementary School. She was the only girl on the Canyon Del Oro baseball team. She loved the sport, as well as horseback riding and swimming. She wanted to be a veterinarian.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of this beautiful, young girl.
Update: In addition to Judge John Roll and Christina Taylor Greene, the following individuals were also mortally wounded in today’s senseless shooting. Our thoughts and prayers are with their families and friends as well.
- Gabe Zimmerman, 30, Giffords’ director of community outreach
- Dorwin Stoddard, 76, a pastor at Mountain Ave. Church of Christ
- Dorthy Murray, 76
- Phyllis Scheck, 79

This is all so horrible.
Why did this nut do this?
What a beautiful little girl.
My sympathy to her family.
God bless them and their sweet, innocent daughter.
So sorry to hear this.
Lord comfort you, Greene family.
Our hearts are with you in your loss
Thanks for posting this, D-Lo. I have a 5 1/2-year-old so this really hits home.
Prayers and condolences to the family.
So sad the left politicized this tragedy and made it all about Sarah Palin.
Only those who have lost a child know the sorrow laid upon their hearts.
God give them strength and whatever else they need.
I can only imagine what Christina’s mom and dad are going through tonight. My heart goes out to them in their profound grief. The loss of a child is the worse pain a person could ever suffer.
I will pray for the Greene family tonight.
beautiful, sweet little face.
Sadly, my parents know the pain of losing a daughter and I know the pain of losing a sibling. My prayers go out to this family.
My heart goes out to the little girl, her family and friends. She looks like a beautiful little girl and this is such a horrible waste. This is very very sad.
I have a six year old boy, he is sitting right next to me and I can not imagine the pain I would feel if anything like this happened to him. Looking at the girls picture made me very sad, I hope she did not feel any pain and I am sure she is with God at this time.
I hope that law enforcement gets to the bottom of what happened real fast. I want to see anyone involved Pay for this in the most horrible fashion. In the mean time, Liberals can STFU and wait until all the facts come out.
Blaming a member from another political party will not help anything. It will just make people dislike you even more.
What a waste.
Yes, they’re probably still trying to turn reality into an abstract concept over in lefty loon-town. Instead of looking at the measurable consequences of this, they are desperately trying to explain to themselves how a dead child is something other than a dead child. They are looking for some greater meaning in this. They are looking for political profit.
By doing so, they compound the injury……for all the victims.
.
Omg sweet baby.
RIP
Heartbreaking. This guy had better hang.
Breathtakingly horrible. It’s bad enough when a child dies in an accident or of disease, but during a political assassination?
Must be with Christ right now. Only way to take it.
Fuck you zip.
Real nice, ally. Show your true colors.
My heart goes out to all of the families who lost loved ones today in this senseless and horrid tragedy.
And it’s truly disgusting that this has turned into a political shit throwing contest.
Well, Zip seems to be the first taker on politicizing this poor child’s death. The intended victim is herself on record with her concerns on the heated rhetoric that can’t seem to find common ground.
To lose a child is unimaginable. To lose one to a madmen following the exhortations of media pundits is reprehensible.
@ally
Why are you so angry? What did Zip do?
What I have seen on this page has been an out pouring of sympathy for everyone that has been hurt. I do not care what political party you are from, we should solidify at a time like this and find out how to stop this crap.
I do not want to see another political assassination ever. Being armed with fact and voting is the best solution.
This picture should give all the blamers on both sides pause. It’s come to this, a nation so divided as to lose it’s humanity. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like this reaction before to a tragedy like this. This is truely Change.
Shame.
Rip in peace sweet angel! How horrible to loss a child in such a tragic way.
@Pawn
“I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like this reaction before to a tragedy like this. This is truely Change.”
You are correct. The only thing close was 911. Like I said before, stuff like this could spark a revolution.
I hope that when this is all said and done, that something positive and productive will result from this horrible event. I do not see how, but I am hoping.
Just went to the Ed Call me Sargent Schultz web page,, ALREADY THEY ARE DEMONIZING THE CONSERVATIVES!!! THEY ARE BLAMING SARA PALIN , GLEN BECK AND RUSH LIMBAUGH FOR THIS!!!! AND THE TEA PARTY!!! THIS LITTLE BASTARD WAS A COMMUNIST BY THE LOOKS OF IT, ALL THE LIBERALS ARE GOOD FOR IS TO SPEW HATE AND DISCONTENT!!!
God bless you sweet child. May God comfort your parents and family. My first look at your beautiful, sweet face reminds me of my own child who died in my arms many years ago, when she was 8 months old from congenital problems.
Seeing this beautiful girl’s picture makes me think that my child would have looked just like her. Been inquisitive. Taken action to help other people, would have been a musician…
God Bless you sweet child. I hope you meet my daughter in Heaven and you two frolic forever in God’s Paradise.
Ally…I won’t say to you what I would like to say. I will only say that many of us here are praying for you..How dare you curse Zip for what’s been posted.
My thoughts and prayers got out to the families of all the victims of this senseless insane, barbaric crime, particularly to the parents and family of Christina Taylor Greene . I have always thought that this country does not do enough to confront the problems of mental health. It’s clear the killer was a nut job and much more could have been done to prevent this senseless act.
Many of those on the left who ran with the story of some right winger, some Tea Party member, Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck and Fox News being the cause of this ought to be ashamed of themselves. The left wing media and many of their bloggers ought to be ashamed of themselves! What a disgrace they are! There is no excuse for this type of behaviour.
This is a RIP Page why would anyone cuss ?
RIP to the others you updated the page with .
My God be with them all
Oh my…this is just all so horrible. What a beautiful little girl.
Prayers for the family of Christina. She is with God.
Communists always blame others for their malevolent misdeeds.
not fucking cool.
This is so horrible, so sad. This life and many others, not just the 6 that died, but, many others were taken to day with the pain and heartache this sick man has caused. This page is to show sarrow, there is no need to curse on here. Not going to point fingers enough people already have. If you disagree with something someone has worte stick your middle finger up in silence at the screen. When the rest of us are wishing for peace and for this beautiful little girl to tell our lost children and souls hello in heaven, we don’t need to hear your arguments. I’ll keep you as well as these victims and their families and friends in my prayers. My daughters are going to be held a little tighter tonight. I have lost a child for reason I will not express I have lost child family members. I cannot even start to want to imagine what these parents are feeling to lose their child in this way. Losing a child is hard enough, but, at the hands of a monster is something all in its own. RIP sweet angel and my your parents be some what comforted knowing you are with God now, where no more pain can touch you! Knowing one of the other victims died saving (covering) his wife shows that love, true love, knows no bonds and gives hope that there is true heros in the world. RIP to all the victims of todays horrible event!
This little girl did not nor did any of the others deserve to die. For those who commented negatively about Zip’s posting and seek to blame Palin or anyone else for this tragedy should consult a professional for treatment.
When this gets sorted out we will see that this individual was not influenced by anyone. Unfortunately the left will do 2 things: First they will say he was insane and secondly they will stand in the way of his execution. Oh of course they will also blame George Bush. Predictable very predictable.
Only insanity or pure evil could be what motivates a person to shoot at woman, children, grandmothers and all the other good people who were shot today.
And it was, imo, extremely vile the way so many people on the Left have used this tragedy to attack people whom they have an irrational hatred for.
Sick, just sick…
Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church have announced plans to protest at Christina Taylor Greene’s funeral.

Innocents should never have to experience hurt or die as those did from this tragic injustice. My sorrow and prayers are for all of you whose lives were changed forever.
This beautiful sweet Angel is with Jesus now – but just look at those eyes and SEE the Love of G-d in her eyes!
To the parents our prayers are with you and your family – how senseless this madness is – this world is finished and Messiah is soon to return.
The only blessing in this is that Christina is now secure in Jesus’ arms before the World and Satan had the chance to corrupt her!
However I cannot relate to a Death Sentence for this lunatic whilst Muslims committing Mass Murder face a maximum Life sentence for political correctness and avoiding the “wrath” of the Muslims!
People look upwards – Our Savior is getting ready – and So Must We!!
G-d bless them and their families.
The only place,including FOX and CNN, where all the murdered have been named.
What a terrible shame!! My heart goes out to her parents and her family.
God bless these families. May their pain be lessened some how and their hearts able to mend.
No one deserves to lose a family member like this.
I lost a brother at 17 to a gun shot,I was one of the worst days of my life.
The next day my father was killed by a drunk driver.
No family should ever have to go useless violence.
My prayers to all who suffered through this toady and any day.
God Bless everyone here too.
Zip.
I to have a 5 year old, and when I think about what the Greene family is going through I can’t imagine. My heart is broken tonight for them and that tiny sweet little face.
It was … sorry.
Seeing that picture is so gut wrenching hard. I can’t stop crying.
People who come here and tell Zip to fuck off.
How cold at heartless you are.
Those blaming Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck the same.
Today the Nation showed it’s true colors.
The left has made this all about the Right and the Right seems to being doing what everyone should be doing and making this about that sweet wonderful baby girl, Judge Roll and all those others.
No one for any reason needs to Die like this. Innocence was lost today.
I hope we as a Nation can heal… Our Political beliefs should not get innocent people killed.
This is a tragedy plain and simple. Some very sick human did a horrific deed.
That he need’s to be punished for. He did it.. It is his to own and not the Right or even the Left, this is his and his alone.
He will have to deal with God one day, I hope very soon.
Those who come here to hate please check your hearts and make sure they are still beating because I think they have stopped and your are dead and rotting inside.
Peace be with everyone today and together we will try to make since of this act of evil.
Let the hating stop and the healing begin.
God Bless.
Senseless and tragic . Maybe someone can explain to the victims families why the left-wing wacko media blames the right for what a lefty nut job perpetrated . Thoughts and prayers .
@ratsofred
I think what we need to say is he was a nut job, keep the lefty out of it. Keep it about the victims and their families.
My prayers go out to all the families of those killed or wounded.
I hope that guy rots for a long time for what he did.
May God Receive her into His glory.
The shooter seems to have been a pyschotic, mentally disjointed loser. Any attempt to make political hay out of this is utterly despicable.
It is all very sad but we don’t need to begin to heal as a nation over this. Children and adults die everyday because of the rules and the criminals who are protected by leftist idiots like those who were shot up today. We are in a war from within and the enemy is among us, do not be distracted! The real issue is that the leftist media is attacking the right and the right better get their game on and stand up to the propaganda machine.
The innocent children always pay for the actions of an adult. Christina was an angel of this earth, now she is an angel of the universe.
May God bless and care for all affected in this tradigy. Let us all offer our prayers to the souls committed to you on this day. Amen
Fred Phelps and his cult are as low as Olbermann, Kos, and the others who seek to exploit this horrible tragedy to advance their hate-filled agendas.
Please remember her brother Dallas in your prayers; he has lost his only sibling. He will be in a lonely place for the rest of his life.
Unfathomable and unbelievable.
I simply have no words.
Rest in peace, sweet angel.
I must stop coming to the site. Every time I see her I cry.
few thoughts –
1) thoughts, prayers to the victims and families, of course
2) dude really needs to stop breathing our air – consider it a retroactive abortion
3) most places, it’s not legal for the insane to have guns, particularly handguns (not that I’ve seen any indication as to what it actually was that was used) – so let’s not blame the gun / legal gun owners
4) yes, she was a beautiful child, apparently gifted and talented – so what? why keep beating that drum? would it be any less tragic (and please don’t get me wrong, this *is* tragic) if she were ugly, and normal? Just askin…
At a time like this we as a nation should have come together like 9-11.
Instead it was an all out war against the Right.
My heart is so heavy that we as a Nation are so torn apart.
this is what obama and the left have been up to.
United We stand and we did during 9-11 last night we fell.
If we do not step up to change this obama has won and we ,we will be but a cliff note in history or even less.
Thanks obama for making America a land of fools.
everything is going as planned ….
Pete. beauty is in the innocence of the child not so much as the pretty scale.
all children are beautiful and this child is no different.
Can you imagine that as this precious one breathed her last, angels took her up in their arms and delivered her to the bosom of Christ. Now she joins the angelic host. No doubt having a blast.
whthfk –
Thanks obama for making America a land of fools.
everything is going as planned ….
exactly, unfortunately, all counts.
beauty is in the innocence of the child
Ah, thanx for the explain! Appreciate it!
Zip:
Take all the angry accusations towards you in stride.
The left wants this nut job be a tea partier and Palin supporter that they are lurking for anyone to blame.
My heart goes out to Sarah Palin as well because she did not call for this or encourage anyone to do this.

Gimme, I consider Phelps even lower than Olberdouche and his henchmen. Phelps tries to use the Name of the Lord in his vitriolic rantings. He and his ilk are nothing but slime.
Sickofobama.
I’m sort of worried about her too.
I can’t imagine what she is feeling right now,all the hate hurled her way.
I’m glad she has a close family and Husband to fall back on.
I’m keeping her in my prayers too.
She’s with CHRIST. GOD protect their families from these evil scum.
That poor little girl. So sweet and innocent looking. God bless her family and keep them safe in the coming days, as no-one but her family can truly understand their grief.
Fred Phelps when I finish this stint in Law school I hope to god I can find reasonable grounds to dissolve your terrorist group.
CHRISTINA-TAYLOR GREEN
is now in heaven with Jehovah God and his Son Jesus Christ
REST IN PEACE AND GOD WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT YOUR FAMILY. HEAVENLY FATHER WILL BE THERE FOR YOUR FAMILY. LOVE YOU. REST IN PEACE.
TAKE CARE MY SWEET GIRL.
Zip, I am a conservative, but Sarah Palin’s ad had no business in the political arena, regardless of whether or not this tragedy had happened or not.
I would say the same about that kind of ad using crosshairs no matter what side it came from.
And the fact she finally removed it after this tragedy, after months of ignoring requests for it to be removed is absolute proof she knows that type of ad was wrong.
I don’t blame Sarah for the shooting at all, but that type of talk about reloading and the whole crosshairs thing, it just has no business being done in todays hyper sensitive country. Period.
RIP Christina
