Just saw this on the news. Giffords has been shot along with 3 of her staff members, and now new repor thatt their was 12 who have been shot.
This is totally unaceptable just because you don't agree with someone on politics
I did not agree with her politics but she is my representive and now SE AZ has no representation.
I hope she will be alright.

Dana Bash is reporting that she is hurt badly. I went through assassinations and attempts in the 1960s with many on this Board. This is serious, very serious.

U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona was shot in the head outside a grocery store in Tucson while holding a public event, Arizona Public Media reported Saturday.

She'll be lucky to live.

The suspect was tackled by a bystander and taken into custody. He was not injured.

Least they caught him.

12 victims, it sounds like gangs or Mexican drug cartels.

What is wrong with some people? Like we don't have enough crazy in the world already.

Local news sites are all over the place on the facts but several are updating often from the scene.
Here are several local news home pages for updates:

Support and good wishes to all affected.

It doesn't matter what party she belonged to or what her POVs were. She was duly elected....this is a shot aimed at democracy.

I hope she recovers.

Horrible, horrible news.

Numbing pain grips my consciousness.
