U.S. District Judge John M. Roll, 63, was one of six people who have died as a result of the recent shooting at a Tucson, Ariz., Safeway grocery store. Fourteen others were wounded.
Roll had stopped by to shake U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords' hand at her down-home meet-and-greet for constituents. Roll lived nearby and was said to have read about the scheduled appearance. Giffords, 40, was critically injured in the melee and so far is expected to survive the close-range bullet to her head.
