Breaking: Congresswoman, 6 Others, Shot By Gunman
    #13751999 -

Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and six others died after a gunman opened fire at a public event on Saturday, the Pima County, Ariz., sheriff's office confirms.

The 40-year-old Democrat, who was re-elected to her third term in November, was hosting a "Congress on Your Corner" event at a Safeway in northwest Tucson when a gunman ran up and started shooting, according to Peter Michaels, news director of Arizona Public Media.

At least nine other people, including members of her staff, were hurt. Giffords was transported to University Medical Center in Tucson. Her condition was not immediately known.

Giffords was talking to a couple when the suspect ran up and fired indiscriminately from about four feet away, Michaels said.

The suspect ran off and was tackled by a bystander. He was taken into custody. Witnesses described him as in his late teens or early 20s.

Giffords was first elected to represent Arizona's 8th District in 2006. The "Congress on Your Corner" events allow constituents to present their concerns directly to her.

More details to come.

WTF!

EDIT:  Apparently she survived a shot to the head and is in surgery.

I bet she'll be T. Schiavo'd even if she makes it.

19 shot, 5 dead.

That dude that got assassinated really got hit. Staggering around in messed up clothes incoherent for three days before he ended up in a few dumpsters.

Maybe he liked phenazepam...

Anyone think this may be related to the recent funding cuts for transplant operations?

I kind of doubt it.  I suspect it has much more to do with the violent political rhetoric of the last couple years.
