Whilst people totally unaffected by the shooting argue amongst one another over who is to blame and politics the family of one of those killed actually go about doing something positive despite of the obvious hardship they must be going through :clap:
Arizona gun victim Christina Green's organs donated saving two children's eyesight
Gift: The organs of Arizona gun victim Christina Green, 9, have been donated saving the eyesight of two children
Organs from the youngest victim of Arizona's gun massacre have been donated, giving two children the gift of sight.
Christina Green's corneas were donated to enable two young patients to see again, her father revealed yesterday.
John Green said: 'The fact that her organs were able to help people, that was an amazing thing to me'.
'It's just another thing that this little girl has given the world', he added.
More organs have been donated too.
Mr Green said that some of Christina's organs went to a 'little girl in Boston'.
He shared that he and his wife would like to give her 'a big hug' if he'they are ever able to meet her.
The grieving father revealed that knowing other children were being helped by the loss of his daughter is a great comfort to their family.
Christina was one of six people killed in the January 8 massacre that left 14 others wounded, including Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords.
'We really felt a lot of emotion about that', Mr Green said. 'That was something that really made us feel gifted, still.'
'We just want to make sure that her little time here in the world was well spent.'
Christina's aunt Kim Green told the New York Post: 'This is exactly what Christina would have wanted, to be able to help someone else. [She'll] be an angel in heaven watching over [those who received her organs].
22-year-old Jared Loughner has been arrested in connection with the shooting.
The county's sheriff office said it had recovered a black bag containing 9mm ammunition that is believed to belong to Loughner.
Meanwhile, Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords has continued her extraordinary recovery after she was shot in the brain during the gun rampage as she held a constituents meeting in a Tuscon parking lot.
Giving: Rozanna and John Green say their family are comforted that the loss of their daughter is able to help others
Tribute: The National 9/11 Flag was raised at Christina Green's funeral last week - she was born on September 11 2001
