TUCSON (AP) -- A Mass is planned in Tucson, Arizona, this evening for the victims of Saturday's shooting rampage. Mourners will gather to remember the six people killed and pray for the 14 injured at a 7 p.m. service at St. Odelia's Parish.
On Wednesday, President Barack Obama will attend a memorial service for those killed, including a federal judge and a 9-year-old girl. Christina Taylor Green's funeral will be on Thursday.
Meanwhile, U.S. Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, who had been meeting with constituents during the shooting, remains in critical condition with a bullet wound to the head. Doctors say her ability to follow simple commands and her giving the thumbs-up sign gives them reason to hope. And they say Giffords hasn't shown any signs of additional swelling to the brain.
Suspected gunman Jared Loughner appeared in a federal court in Phoenix Monday to answer to charges of trying to assassinate Giffords and killing federal judge John Roll.
