Default Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords Shot

US congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was badly wounded while meeting with constituents at a grocery store in Tuscon. She remains in crritical condition.

Quote:
TUCSON, Arizona (Reuters) – Representative Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona died after being shot in the head while meeting constituents at a grocery store in Tucson, NPR reported on Saturday.

Giffords, a 40-year-old Democrat in her third term in Congress, was shot point blank by an unidentified gunman who fired indiscriminately into the crowd, NPR and other U.S. media said.
About a dozen others at the meeting were shot and the gunman was wrestled to the ground and taken into custody, Fox said, citing an eyewitness.

Premature reports of her death. As of right now, she is in surgery.

CNN is saying that Giffords is in surgery. News reports are saying that at least six others have died.

It's a very sad story. I heard a kid has died. We will have to wait to find out more about the idiot.

I did mention security is the up and coming industry and as long as the pay is good people wouldn't get through. I also mentioned specifically Arizona.

How did I know enough to say that? History I guess.

It's gotten serious now. When people have their own armed security, that sign isn't an indication of good times to come.

The congresswoman is alert. The scumbag killed a federal judge and a child.

It's very sad. Five other people were killed, including a child. What can we say? The guy was obviously deranged, but it's not illegal to be deranged.
