Ok so Ms. Giffords has been confirmed to have been shot in the head, no word on her condition. 12 people have been injured, and 4 are confirmed dead.
Giffords was holding an event and a gunman/genmen started shooting, that's what I've gotten so far...
Edit: If the news would report the news and not brown-nose a potentially dead person I might get some more information before hell freezes over.

I hope she'll be okay.
Also I wonder about the criminal's motivation. I just HOPE it's not politics...
So far they might have a suspect in the late teens early twenties.
It's not exactly... smart, to advocate gun rights and then shoot a politician. It's far too early to start speculation on motives.
Edit: The local news has not gotten a confirmation that Giffords is dead. I've just heard that CNN is reporting she has died. Just wanted to point that out.
Edit2: She is confirmed to be in surgery.
Edit3: SHE'S NOT DEAD YET. All media stations saying as much are spewing BS.

Judging from similar attacks on politicians in the past, it's more than likely some lone gunman seeking vengeance for some perceived injustice.
Hey look, Japan made a movie about me!
I'm watching the news right now, and they said the shooter was definitely nuts, and it may be political reasons on why he did the shooting. It still isn't very clear right now. They're even mentioning the books he read. I'm surprised the congresswoman is still alive despite taking a shot to the head.
Update: They believe there's another person involved with this and Youtube videos the shooter put up are being looked at as a possible motive.

I heard about that its crazy how did this all happen and was it planned out.
ugh, what a hectic day...
All day long at work, that's all that was discussed. A bulletin was posted in the break room saying stuff about counselors out to the safeway to help calm down employees that had been traumatized.
Apparently, a bullet was found all the way back in the Meat department (glad it wasn't my store..) so the chaos had to have happened really close to the entrance, since the meat department is always at the back of the store.
They said that the person whom did this lived in the northwest side of tucson, which is the same area where I live.
Also, way to get the news wrong CNN.. made me have to work for 2 hours thinking that Gabby was killed, when she wasn't. >_>

Why would you listen to CNN when there is a perfectly reliable local news station?Also, way to get the news wrong CNN.. made me have to work for 2 hours thinking that Gabby was killed, when she wasn't. >_>
Nut job shot her and randomly shot others including a judge (by coincidence, not a targeted victim specifically for being a judge). Also a 9yo girl was shot, haven't heard of her condition though.

I scrubbed some of VG555's trolling from the thread. Hopefully there was no collateral damage.

He seems to have been a big conspiracy nut, as well. There's some mention being made of an ad that Sarah Palin released involving a crosshairs being placed over various politicians' faces - it's possible he took this literally as some sort of call to action.
In other more horrifying news, Westboro is praising the suspect's actions. >_<
I haven't read much about this suspect, but he seems to live in his own little world. His YT videos are riddled with ambiguity and subject to personal interpretation. As I watched them, I had to wonder if even he knew what he was trying to talk about.

I understand the Giffords' doctors are somewhat optimistic about her recovery now. Apparently the injury to her head could've been a great deal worse, and she's showing promising signs of recovery. Though I was quite saddened to hear about the nine-year old girl that died during the assault. Apparently she was one of the children born on 9/11. To be brought into this world amidst tragedy and to leave it in the way she did... well, I can only wish her family the best.

I heard they found two suspects on that issue about the Congresswoman getting shot
If anyone is interested I heard that the shooter used was a Glock Model 19.
According to what I read it is a reliable weapon for those who want to conceal and fire and he fired about 20 shots and only stopped when he ran out of ammo.
I could only imagine if he managed to acquire a weapon with a higher magazine capacity, more people would have been wounded or died.
He had a higher capacity magazine in the weapon and was subdued while trying to reload a second magazine. Nearby witness and combat vet described the gunfire as 'unfortunately good shooting' (methodical and deliberate, not rapid spray and pray). Already politicians are banging the gun control drum.
Eric, tell your Sheriff to take some Xanax before a press conference...
Bad Memory
I heard about the shooting that sucks to hear that about a congresswomen getting shot
I guess either the witness was not correct or he did not fill his extended magazine up the the limit.
I would put my bet on the prior because if I was a witness to something like that I may not be able to recall things clearly.
If he had a 33 round magazine and planned to expend it all I doubt think he would only put 20 rounds in it, he probably filled it up to the max.
