http://www.cnn.com/2011/CRIME/01/08/ari ... 1&iref=BN1 Quote: At least 12 people were shot at a Tucson grocery store on Saturday, and U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was among them, a Democratic party source told CNN. Giffords, 40, was holding a constituent meeting at the grocery store when the shooting occurred, according to a schedule posted on her website. CNN could not confirm conditions for Giffords or any of the others wounded, but the Tuscon Citizen newspaper was reporting that Giffords was shot in the head. The Democratic source described the situation as "pretty serious," The shooting occurred at a Safeway shortly after 10 a.m. MST, according to sheriff's spokesman Deputy Jason Ogan. Pictures from the scene showed a Giffords banner hanging from the storefront. At least two victims with gunshot wounds were transported at Northwest Medical Center, according to spokesman Richard Parker. "They've been coming in the last 10 minutes. I'm not sure of the severity of their injuries," he said. Ogan said he did not have conditions on any of the wounded and said the motive for the shooting is unclear. "We're just trying to sort this out right now," he said. An employee of a nearby business, Jason Pekau, told CNN that he heard "15 to 20 gunshots." Giffords, a Democrat, was first elected in 2006. She has served as chairwoman of the House Space and Aeronautics Subcommittee and also holds seats on the House Science and Technology and Armed Services committees. The article hasn't been updated yet, but numerous sources are saying she didn't survive. I can understand being upset, but how does someone take a life like that? Or multiple lives? I just don't get it. |

When people like Sharon Angle call for '2nd amendment remedies', there are people out there that think it's a good idea. |

Just seeing that now too, Yoshi. If she is still alive, I hope she can make it. She's married with 2 kids. |

It's not official. Quote: 2:37 PM ET Giffords Alive And In Surgery
A hospital spokeswoman tells MSNBC that Giffords is alive, still in surgery. |

What a fucked up, disgusting society we live in if this woman was killed because of her politics (which I'm suspecting it was). |

Rep Giffords' HUSBAND is the one telling the media she's still alive. Unless he's not next to her body (which I doubt), I'm going with his words here. |

Indeed. I don't want to jump to that conclusion until the facts come out, but some ancillary evidence supports it. Quote: Fun campaign event: "Help remove Gabrille Giffords from office. Shoot a fully automatic M16 with Jesse Kelly" http://yfrog.com/h5p7wp

That's why you wait. It's better to he right than it is to be first. Unfortunately that's not how most of our media works. |

Thee seem to forget that there are people out there crazy enough to actually believe what they're saying is the truth, and not just hyperbolic political rhetoric. |

An interview with a guy who was there and held the shooter down when he ran out of ammo: http://gawker.com/5728501/ I swear if it were me, I wouldn't have been able to control myself. I probably would have mutilated the guys face. I hope somebody broke his nose. |
