DOVER -- The Delaware Senate passed a resolution Wednesday posthumously making the 9-year-old girl killed in Saturday's shooting rampage in Arizona an honorary member of the chamber. Christina Taylor Green was among six people who were shot and killed at a constituent event sponsored by U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, who remains in critical condition after being shot in the head.
Christina was the granddaughter of former Phillies manager Dallas Green, a Newport native who in 1980 coached the baseball team to its first World Series victory.
Sen. Karen Peterson, D-Stanton, said she sponsored the resolution because the girl had taken an early interest in public service.
This is such a sweet award for a young girl who was interested in an early age. A sweet story.
