Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) remained in critical condition Sunday following a close-range shot to the head sustained during Saturday's shooting attack. The attack, allegedly carried about by 22-year-old Jared Lee Loughner, resulted in six dead and 14 injured.
Many of the 14 wounded continued to fight for their lives Sunday. Giffords' office confirmed that two of the injured are Gifford staffers-- Pam Simon and Ron Barber. But a third staffer has been pronounced dead. All of those injured and killed were in the vicinity of Saturday's town hall, held outside a Tucson Safeway supermarket.
Following the jump is a profile of the six people killed in Saturday's shooting*:
Christina Taylor Green: Green was just 9 years old at the time of her death. She had recently been elected to the student council and was interested in government, her family told local media outlets. Green reportedly attended Saturday's town hall with a neighbor. Her family tells the media that Green was born on Sept. 11, 2001 and was featured in a book called "Faces of Hope: Babies Born on 9/11"."I just want her memory to live on, she's a face of hope, a face of change," Green's mother, Roxanna Green, told MSNBC. "Stop the violence, stop the hatred."
Dorothy Murray: Murray was 76. (Further details about Murray have yet to be publicly released.)
John M. Roll: Roll, 63, was a federal judge who began his judicial career in Arizona in the 1970's. In 1991, President George H. W. Bush nominated him to serve on the U.S. District court. He rose to chief judge in 2006. Mark Kimball, a Giffords aide, told the Associated Press that he believed the judge, who lived in the area, went to the supermarket Saturday to shop. "I have never met a more sincere ... fair minded, brilliant federal judge or any judge, for that matter, in my whole life," Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik said of Roll.
Phyllis Schneck: Schneck was 79. (Further details about Schneck have yet to be publicly released.)
Dorwin Stoddard: Stoddard, 76, was a retiree who performed maintenance work at his church, the Mountain Avenue Church of Christ, reports the Arizona Daily Star. Stoddard's minister, Mike Nowak, called Stoddard "a terrific guy, a jack-of-all-trades." When the shooting started, Dorwin reportedly tried to protect his wife by laying on top of her. She was wounded but is expected to recover.
Gabe Zimmerman: Zimmerman, 30, served as Giffords' outreach director and was attending Saturday's event as a staff member. Zimmerman's colleagues told reports on the scene that Zimmerman carried out his job with compassion. "Gabe was a master at dealing with people. He truly cared about helping people. There were no politics involved in this," Giffords spokesman C.J. Karamargin told the Arizona Republic. House Speaker John Boehner announced Sunday that flags would be flown at half staff to honor Zimmerman. Zimmerman was reportedly engaged to be married.
