Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords shot in the head
Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was among as many as 12 people wounded in a shooting at a Tucson, Ariz., grocery store where she was holding a campaign event.

ABC affiliate KGUN-TV in Tucson reported that as many as 12 people had been shot, including Giffords.

Sources said Giffords had been shot in the head.

She was taken to University Medical Center where a hospital spokesman confirmed she was alive. But the extent and seriousness of her injuries are unknown.

A law enforcement source told KGUN that the shooter was in custody.

Giffords, a Democrat, was holding a "Congress on Your Corner" event today at a Safeway supermarket in northwest Tucson.

Now confirmed reports that she has passed away. Sad day


Reports the gunman was either late teens or early 20's. Had to be some whack job no matter what his "supposed cause"

FYI, she was just elected to her 3rd term...doubt this was the responsibility of a group. More like some mental case with his own perceived "cause."

Conflicting reports now as hospital states she is alive and in surgery.

Probably a good guess as she was staunch supporter of stopping illegal immigration.

Fox and MSNBC still reporting critical condition, but not dead. Doesn't mean she's not, though.

Crazy.
