Former Major League Dallas Green granddaughter killed

The tragedy that occurred when a gunman opened fire at an Arizona’s congresswomen’s event left the granddaughter of Dallas Green dead.  She was only 9 years old.  Green was a former major league manager, executive, and pitcher.

Dallas Green managed the Philadelphia Phillies to their first World Series championship in 1980.  He is currently an executive advisor with the team.

Christina-Taylor Green was shot Saturday outside a Tucson, Ariz., grocery store when she went to see Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, who was meeting with constituents. Giffords was among 13 people wounded in the shooting that killed six people, including Arizona's chief federal judge and an aide for the Democratic lawmaker.

The young girl had a brother named Dallas. Their father worked in the scouting department for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
