TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - A bishop in Arizona is holding a public memorial service to remember those killed in the weekend shooting spree and pray for those still hospitalized, including Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.

Tucson Bishop Gerald Kicanas will preside Tuesday night over the first official tribute to the victims of the attack. Six people were killed and 14 others injured at the congresswoman's event outside a grocery store.

The Mass will be held at St. Odilia Catholic Church. Among those killed was 9-year-old Christina Taylor Green, who was baptized at the church.

Jared Loughner is accused of being the lone gunman in the attempted assassination of Giffords. She is in critical condition.
