Victims of Arizona Shooting

U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was the target of a gunman's rampage on Saturday morning at a political event in Tucson, Ariz., where six people were killed. Giffords, pictured here on Capitol Hill on Wednesday, was shot in the head during the attack. Doctors say the congresswoman is in critical condition, but they are "cautiously optimistic" about her recovery.

U.S. District Judge John Roll died in the shooting. The gunman, identified as Jared Loughner, 22, opened fire at a "Congress on Your Corner" event being held outside a Safeway grocery store. Giffords' aide, Gabe Zimmerman, a 9-year-old girl and three Arizona retirees also died in the attack. House Speaker John Boehner called the shooting an "inhuman act."

Zimmerman, 30, was Giffords' community outreach director and organized Saturday's event. "He was an amazing person. His goal in life was to do nothing but help people. There's not enough words to describe him," Giffords' press secretary, C.J. Karamargin, told the Sierra Vista Herald/Review.

Christina Taylor Green was invited to the congresswoman's event by a neighbor, who thought the newly elected student council member would enjoy it. The 9-year-old was born on Sept. 11, 2001. "She came in on a tragedy and now she's gone out on a tragedy, but the nine years in between were very special," her father told CNN.

Dorwan Stoddard was fatally shot in the head during the event. Reports say the 76-year-old was trying to protect his wife, Mavanell, who was shot in the legs and is expected to recover, when he was hit.

Phyllis Schneck, 79, was a New Jersey grandmother who retired to Arizona, according to The Trentonian. Though Schneck was a lifelong conservative, she voted for Rep. Giffords, a Democrat, and was attending Saturday's event to meet the congresswoman.

Dorothy Morris, 76, also died in Saturday's shooting rampage. Morris was attending the event with her husband, George, who remains in critical condition, according to the Reno Gazette-Journal.

Happy Endin' 2010

At 3 years old, Christian was like any other boy his age. He loved to play and laugh with his family. Suddenly, Christian began to lose his appetite and had fevers almost every day. After several exams, an ultrasound revealed devastating news: Christian had a mass in his kidney. He was found to be suffering from neuroblastoma, one of the most aggressive types of childhood cancers.

“You know that cancer exists, and that we are all at risk; but you never imagine that it will touch your life,” said his mother.

Christian underwent a bone marrow transplant and chemotherapy in his native Puerto Rico. Sadly, after two years of scans indicating no evidence of disease, his cancer returned.

This time, the cancer had spread to the bones in his hips and legs, causing him a great deal of pain. In search of a possible cure for Christian, one of his doctors contacted St. Jude.

In March 2010, Christian arrived at St. Jude, where doctors were studying novel treatments for neuroblastoma. Christian was enrolled on two protocols (treatment plans). The first used a new chemotherapy drug to relieve his tumor burden. Christian responded well to the drug and proceeded to an immunotherapy protocol.

Immunotherapy is designed to produce immunity to a disease or to enhance resistance by the immune system. The basis of Christian’s treatment is a neuroblastoma antibody that is manufactured at the St. Jude Children’s GMP, LLC facility. St. Jude is the only pediatric research center with an on-site Good Manufacturing Practices facility to research and then produce highly specialized medicines and vaccines that pharmaceutical companies do not produce.

Currently, Christian is at St. Jude fighting for his life.

6 Nail Trends to Try Now!

Wine

If you tend to get post-manicure buyer's remorse, wine is the shade for you. "It's a hard color to screw up. Almost every hue looks festive and classy," says celebrity manicurist Ashlie Johnson, who works with Kristen Stewart, Eva Mendes, Lea Michele and Kate Hudson, among others.

Gold

Giving your nails the Midas touch requires a bit of finesse. "Make sure to pick a gold that's not too yellow-y, which can look tacky. Choose a warmer tone instead," says Johnson.

Silver

While this dazzling hue is perfect for a party it can be a bit much for the office. "Try just applying it to the tips," advises Johnson.

Teal

Go green, but go wisely. "A teal with navy undertones will keep your hands from looking like they're freezing," says Johnson.

Deep Purple

Sometimes what looks like the perfect eggplant turns jet black on your tips. Johnson's fix: "Pick one that looks brighter in the bottle or has a tiny flecks of glitter to pick up the light."

Cherry Red

This shade is meant to be cheery. "Choose one that makes you smile," Johnson says. "I like brighter, orangey reds for darker skin and blue reds for fair skin."
