Some had queued all day even if it was partly the draw of Barack Obama. This was remarkable 1 show of unity 2 from the city of Tucson, their way of honoring the victims. At that moment across town, the President was in the hospital where the survivors 3 including congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords are being treated. Later with the America watching, he consoled her husband before offering these words to the city:
"Right after we went to visit, few minutes after we left the room, and some of her colleagues from congress were in the room. Gabby opened her eyes for the first time. Gabby opened her eyes for the first time."
He also tackled the issue consuming America.
"At a time when our discourse 4 has become so sharply polarized, at a time when we are far too eager to lay the blame for all that ails 5 the world at the feet of those who happened to think differently than we do. It's important for us to pause for a moment and make sure that we are talking with each other in a way that heals, not in a way that wounds. "
The organizers were worried that the venue 6 wouldn't be big enough and they were right. This is the overflow 7 and thousands more people of Tucson packed in, to play their part in the memorial, to show their support for the victims as they demonstrate once again the community spirit in this city.

"Although everyone seems to want to blame it on bipartisanship and whatever, he really wanna to say that we shouldn't be doing that and that it's inappropriate in a venue such as this."
"I thought it was very moving. He spoke 8 from the heart and I never hear he speaks in person, but I really feel like he captured kind of the way the community felt. "
Under the man accused of the shootings, police have reviewed a litany of minor 9 offenses 10, including being stopped to running a red light, hours before the shooting. Today the funeral takes place of Christina Taylor Green, 9 years old, in the words of president "so curious, so trusting, so energetic and full of magic"
