(FROM CNN) -- A federal judge was killed and a congresswoman gravely wounded Saturday in a shooting outside of a Tucson, Arizona, grocery store, according to police and government officials.
In all, six people died and 12 were wounded in the shooting, including U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Arizona, according to Rick Kastigar, bureau chief for the Pima County Sheriff's Department.
President Barack Obama later said Chief Judge John Roll of the U.S. District Court for Arizona was among the dead.
A 9-year-old girl also died in the attack, according to authorities. The child, whose identity had not been released, was pronounced dead at a hospital.

Last year Representative Giffords was one of a number of Democratic members of Congress who were targeted with rifle scope crosshairs graphics in an ad from Sarah Palin's political action committee.
Palin and her Teabagger Nutjob followers have used violent rhetoric non-stop for the past two years. Talking of "second amendment solutions" to political questions. Now the seeds that Palin and her ilk have planted are sprouting.
Make no mistake the GOP and and the Tebagging lunatics it has spawned have BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS TODAY.
