The six people who died in Saturday's assassination attempt of an Arizona Congresswoman ranged from a highly-esteemed Federal judge to a child born on September 11, 2001.
Special Section: Tragedy in Tucson
Nineteen people were shot at the shooting rampage in Tucson, including Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.
Among the dead:
U.S. District Judge John McCarthy Roll, 63. Roll, who was appointed to the federal bench by President George H.W. Bush in 1991, earned his law degree from the University of Arizona in 1972. He has been the chief judge of the district of Arizona since 2006.
In 2009 Roll received several death threats following his ruling in a case involving migrant workers. He was placed under fulltime U.S. Marshals Service protection, which Roll described to the Arizona Republic as "unnerving and invasive." It was discontinued after a month.
Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik said Saturday that he did not believe Giffords was the gunman's intended target. Roll had just stopped by the event to see his friend Giffords after attending Mass when the shooting occurred.
"Unfortunately, he was in the wrong place at the wrong time," said Dupnik.
Gabriel Zimmerman, 30. Zimmerman was Giffords' director of community outreach. A graduate of Rincon High School where he was active in student government, he was recently engaged to be married.
Friends attending a vigil Saturday told CBS Affiliate KOLD that Zimmerman was "caring," "motivated," "a free spirit," and "a man who understood how to live life."
Christina Taylor Green, 9. Born in Maryland on Sept. 11, 2001, Greene was featured in a book called "Faces of Hope: Babies Born on 9/11." Greene was involved in many activities, from ballet to baseball. She had just received her first Holy Communion at St. Odilia's Catholic Church in Tucson, Catholic Diocese of Tucson officials told The Arizona Daily Star.
Greg Segalini, Christina's uncle, told the Arizona Republic that a neighbor was going to the Giffords constituent event and invited the girl along because she had just been elected to the student council and was interested in government.
"The next thing you know this happened. How do you prepare for something like this? My little niece got killed - took one on the chest and she is dead," Segalini said outside the girl's house.
"She was real special and real sweet," he said.
KOLD reports the neighbor was also wounded in the shooting.
Dorwin Stoddard, 76, a pastor at Mountain Ave. Church of Christ. When the shooting started, Stoddard tried to protect his wife by laying on top of her. She was wounded in the attack.
Dorthy Morris, 76.
Phyllis Scheck, 79.
Along with Rep. Giffords, who is in critical condition, the 13 wounded included two Giffords staff members: Ron Barber, her deputy director, and community outreach worker Pam Simon.
Doctors said the other living victims of the rampage are doing relatively well and had been transferred from the ICU to the ward - a lesser amount of care, which was a good indication of how well everyone is doing.
"The people who needed surgery are all recovering well, and so far we're extremely happy with the prognosis of all those other individuals," said Dr. Peter Rhee, chief of trauma at the University Medical Center in Tucson.

How sad!
for the sake of all human beings and their futures we need more awareness!...
mindsets sit full of illusion... yet other than optical or theatrical illusion... so few people know what it is... and those who don't think people need to know about illusion are already under its influence more than they realize...
schools need to teach students about illusion... so they can learn how everyone's standard human perception uses illusion... which can distort something from being seen "as it actually is"... into something else much different... when thoughts (already in the mind) substitute their own 'pictures' (or connotations etc) instead...
with this learning in mind... then mental pictures that resurface as ignorant social or racial or extremist or manipulative bias etc are less apt to make bigger impacts... as they'll have awareness of many alternatives available... and they'll have advantages of being more prone to use added consideration as they live with themselves and others in our world here!...
(this isn't a cure or a fix... but at least it's a beginning)...
my thoughts and prayers go out to everyone everywhere!...
a heartfelt wishingwell to each'n'all!... :)
Why should we be only able to do what one party or the other wants us to do? We win you lose only incites some to react violently.
Regulation must be legislated so citizens are not forced to give all their hard earned money to the banks and those that deceive the public.
The media should be able to disarm the pundits that use rhetoric to incite listeners by not printing or hiring them.
If politicians do not do what you want them to; do not vote for them.
If corporations interfere in government do not use their services or buy their product.
If media does not hold pundits accountable do not buy or listen to that media.
Of course this will not work if you do not control your own anger and hatred.
Hopefully they will be unsuccessful in their plans.
Of course the national BAPTIST CHURCH entity has never come out and condemned them, nor have they even bothered to try and sue to prevent the use of BAPTIST CHURCH in their name, this shows their complacency and condonation of Westboro BAPTIST CHURCH' activities.
This is an appeal to all commenters who are taking this shooting to be anything more than a very sick young man acting on his own, or perhaps pushed forward by a friend.
Please, if this shooting has made you feel hate toward any group, and you feel that you might at some point today or in the future, lose control, please talk to someone.
If you have even one thought about revenge against any group that you may think at fault, please talk to someone who can help you get over these thoughts.
Please do not listen to the extremists on these comment boards. Most of them don't believe what they are posting; they just want to spread hate and fear.
Please talk to a professional. Go to a hospital or clinic, or some sort of establishment, and get help.
Thank you,
A concerned American
