Uncle says niece, 'typical' 9-year-old, among victims

TUCSON, Ariz. - A 9-year-old girl was among the five who died in a shooting rampage in Tucson Saturday afternoon.

KTAR talked exclusively with her uncle Greg Segalini.

He described her as a "typical" girl who was bright, on student council and who loved ballet.

Segalini said the girl's family went to the event to meet Congresswoman Gabreille Giffords.

"They just went up there because they were having the political rally.

"And the neighbor, who also was shot, thought it would be nice if she brought Christina up to the Safeway, just to you know, just to see it and the next thing you know this happened."

Greg Segalini said his niece's death still hasn't sunk in yet.

"We, of course, didn't anticipate. I mean how do you prepare for something like this?"

He said he believes the little girl was shot in the chest.

"We went down to the hospital and she was dead."

Giffords was shot in the head, but is expected recover.

In all, 19 people were shot with at least five of them being in critical condition.

A federal judge and four others were killed in the rampage that rattled the country and left politicians fearful for their safety. ......
