U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was hosting her first “Congress on Your Corner” of the year late this Saturday morning at a supermarket in northwest Tucson, Arizona when shots rang out from a lone gunman. Sadly she was hit near point blank to the head and was soon after reported dead by Fox News... but later updated to saying she was in surgery and was alive but in critical condition.
.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Congresswomen Giffords and to all her family and friends.
