Family Friend of Slain Girl Remains Hospitalized 
-------------------------------------------------



The memorial service with President Obama is one of a number taking
place in Arizona and around the country. The youngest victim was
nine-year-old Christina Taylor Green, a third-grader recently elected to
the student council at her elementary school. The husband of Susan
Hileman, a family friend who escorted Christina to the event and was
herself wounded in the shooting, said his wife remains in shock.

Bill Hileman: "I hear her in her semi-conscious ramblings screaming out,
'Christina! Christina! Let's get out of here! Let's get out of here!'
And she keeps talking about the holding of hands and then the
realization that she was on the ground and the bleeding was profuse. Her
memory seems to end there."
