They sure are taking their sweet time identifying the suspect.
As soon as they do, you bet his entire life will be out in the news within hours.
19 said to have been shot and yes, 5 confirmed to be dead, the congresswomen is not among the known dead5 dead

Been proven how? We have no idea who the shooter was or why he did it. Hell, we're even assuming it's a man!
Remember the guy who ran into the Discovery Channel's headquarters last year and took hostages threatening to kill them? All the left wing blogs and Web sites and the kooks on this board were accusing the tea party of producing this guy and it turned out he was actually a far left environmental wacko who was a serious follower of Al Gore's bullshit.
The shooter has been arrested and it's a male I thought it was reported. A bystander tackled him. While his motivations may be unclear, his gender isn't I would think.
The lack of facts is disturbing, as per usual. The media, in their rush to get the 'story', are too quick to post unconfirmed reports. I've seen the congresswoman reported dead, then alive and in surgery moments later by the same outlet.
Hopefully there are as many survivors as possible, hopefully the person responsible has been caught, but I think it may be best to take anything reported at this point with a large grain of salt. It may be some hours yet before we get reliable information.

It is now being reported that there may have been someone in the crowd who returned fire.

Barring Info, Speculating On Motive Behind Giffords Shooting Helps No One

In this era of instant information and 24/7 Tweeting, it is understandable that news about today's shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) after an event in Tucson spread like wildfire.
What is also unsurprising, but regrettable, is that everyone is ascribing a motive for the shooting without any credible information.
The Internet and the Twitterworld have been filled with speculation on why she was shot: that she was too liberal and was shot by a Tea Party conservative. Or that she was too moderate and shot by someone on the left.
All we know is that the shooter is under custody. No statement has been released, no motive revealed. Self-anointed "journalists" should keep such opinions to themselves until we know more.

Being reported that she is responsive.... That would be a good thing.

Fox is reporting that she has made it through surgery and is responding to command. I pray she makes it.

19?
The reports of a shotgun are most likely accurate, then.

As of right now, news reports are saying she is in critical condition at the hospital after being shot in the head.
Initial reports had said that she was one of the fatalities, but that was incorrect.
MSNBC reporting that a Federal judge was also shot and killed.

a security guy allegedly shot the perp but didn't kill him. It sounds like a bloody mess between a shotgun a crowd and crossfire.

Shep Smith said the guy was not shooting indiscriminately into the crowd. He was walking up to people and shooting them in the head.
