Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords Shot In Arizona

Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ), poses with House Speaker John Boehner on Capitol Hill on Wednesday.


U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona was shot in the head outside a grocery store in Tucson while holding a public event, Arizona Public Media reported Saturday.

The Democrat, who was re-elected to her third term in November, was hosting a "Congress on Your Corner" event at the 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 firing indiscriminately and then ran off, Michaels said.

The suspect was tackled by a bystander and taken into custody. He was not injured. 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.

By the sounds of it the guy that killed her was shot and taken into custody. I hope they can get an explanation for his horrible actions.

Just this week she introduced a bill to cut all Congressmen's pay by 5% and even though she was a Democrat she voted against Pelosi as the Sheaker of the House. Sad day for AZ. and the US My prays are with her family and the families of the others killed in this horrible event.

Lefty sites are blaming Palin, Rush, Angle, Beck and fox news for this, but mostly Palin.

She is not dead the doctor is on Fox now and feels she will survive.

The Lefties have also jumped to the conclusion that other domestic events were the blame of the right but were WRONG after the facts were brought to light. :roll:

MSNBC feeds this mindset by editing video to make it look as if it was a white gun toting racist ********* carrying the machine gun on his back when in fact the unedited tape showed it was a Black tea partier exercizing he right to carry a gun before the Dems took it from him.

For all we know, it was the federal judge that was the target.

The guy's name is Jared laughner, just in case anybody was going to jump to the conclusion that it was an illegal alien.

22, only had one minor brussh with the police in that district.

hmmm?


Judge Roll in 2009, faced death threats after presiding over a $32 million civil-rights lawsuit. The lawsuit was filed by illegal immigrants against an Arizona rancher. After Judge Roll ruled the case would be certified, threats came from talk-radio shows which fueled controversy and spurred audiences into making threats against the judge[2].

The threats materialized after one show, Judge Roll's name logged more than 200 phone calls as some callers threatened the judge and his family[2].

This resulted in the judge and his wife were under a protection detail for one month as Judge Roll was given twenty four hours a day, seven days a week security by the US Marshals Service. An US Attorney's investigation ruled that four men were identified as threat makers, but no charges were filed[2].

In a July 9, 2009 interview with the Arizona Republic, Judge Roll described the time under high security as "unnerving and invasive. . . . By its nature it has to be," Roll said. Roll also said, "It (the security) was handled very professionally by the Marshals Service."[2]

At the end of the month, Roll said four key men had been identified as threat makers[2].

From what he had on his My Space and Youtube pages he sounds as if he was not stable and someone should have been clueing the authorities in on him. :?

"U.S. District Court Judge John Roll rejected Barnett's efforts in March 2008 to have the charges thrown out"

Read the rest of the story at: http://ktar.com/?nid=6&sid=1037366

Barnett was a rancher that detained several illegal immigrants after they crossed the border. The illegals sued him. Barnett asked the judge to drop the case. The judge refused, citing "the "civil rights" of the illegals.

I'm sorry that the Judge died in this shooting incident and I hope they nail the shooter hard. As far as I'm concerned, those illegals he gave difference to, should have had zero rights.

“It is very troubling when the federal government becomes involved in a boycott against our state,” said Giffords. “Although I personally disagree with the immigration law, it came about because of growing frustration over the federal government’s unwillingness to secure the border."

from http://giffords.house.gov/2010/06/us-rep-gabrielle-giffords-fights-to-reverse-boycott-over-state-immigration-law.shtml

Two lawmakers in bed with other regarding the acceptance of illegal immigrants? Are the citizens of the U.S,. getting fed-up with illegal immigration? Or maybe the shooting had nothing to do with the issue? Tell us Shamu.

by witness accounts, he did target the Congresswoman. A good friend of his has been tweeting all day about it and she says he is a leftist, "very liberal" Supposedly he met Giffords awhile back and commented that he thought she was stupid.

Not sure what it all means......

The kid spent too much time in Talented and Gifted class doing math proofs it appears after watching his video.

No doubt this will be another outcry for gun control. Parental control will be over looked.

If it is it will not have the victims support as she is a pro gun supporter.
The more I hear about her the more I have to wonder what she was doing on the left. :?
