Tragedy Strikes Dodger Family

Yesterday, a 22-year old lunatic in Tucson, AZ opened fire and attempted to gun down Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords during a "meet-and-greet" with constituents at a local grocery store. Giffords was shot point blank in the head, but survived, underwent surgery, and is in critical condition. The lunatic didn't stop there. He continued his shooting rampage and in the process killed six people and wounded more than a dozen others.

Among those who were killed were John Roll, a federal judge for the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona, and a nine-year old girl, Christina Green. She was the daughter of Dodger scout John Green, and granddaughter of former Major League pitcher and manager Dallas Green.

Her life started and ended both with tragedy. She was born on September 11, 2001.

My condolences, thoughts and prayers go out to all the families involved, and I pray for speedy recoveries for all those who survived this horrific incident.

As for the lunatic, may God have mercy on your soul.
