Christina Taylor-Green

.

Pictured above is Christina Taylor-Green. She was the 9-year-old girl who was murdered at the Safeway grocery store on Saturday.

Christina was born on September 11, 2001 - the same day as the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

According to the Arizona Daily Star, Christina was the granddaughter of former Philadelphia Phillies manager Dallas Green. The paper also wrote this about Christina:

• She was already a good speaker, her father said, Green recently was elec
...ted to the student council at her elementary school.

• Green told her parents she wanted to attend Penn State and make a career helping those less fortunate.

• She loved animals and dancing — especially ballet — along with hip-hop and jazz music.

• She was athletic, too. Green liked to go swimming with her 11-year-old brother, also named Dallas. She also was the only girl on her Little League baseball team. She played second base.
