AZ Congresswoman in critical condition after shooting

[GenuineRisk]

Democratic Congresswoman Gabrielle Gifford (AZ) was shot at point-blank range at an event outside a Safeway. She is dead, along with several other people. A child was also hit.

The suspect (tackled by one of her staffers when he attempted to flee) other than he is mid-20's, white and clean-shaven.

Update: FOX is stating she's still alive but in critical condition. Prayers that this is true.

Horrible. I'm afraid we will see much more of this sort of thing.

[ateamstupid]

Gee, I'm shocked. Awful.

RIP

she was on palins list of 20 candidates to get out of office in the midterm elections....oddly enough that website was taken down shortly after the shooting

[Riot]

Holy crap. Prayers to her and her family.

I hope it is in no way associated with politics.

My sincere condolences are offered to the family of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and the other victims of today's tragic shooting in Arizona. On behalf of Todd and my family, we all pray for the victims and their families, and for peace and justice.

Never so glad to be wrong in my life, now the reports state that they think the Congresswoman will pull through, though no word on how bad her injuries are yet. Could one of the monitors change the title of the thread, please?

Four other people are dead, though.

Here's the ad Palin's PAC produced during the campaign:

to be fair it could have been 9/11 coverup, vaccine conspiracy, or trilateral commission. the actual weird obsession isn't all that important. it's not like the guy had any understanding of economics. it's just something he heard repeated.

Sorry to hear about this. My condolences to all that are involved. And a 9 year old little girl. So sad. God bless her.

That's the sad part. Just something he probably heard repeated over and over and over. Like Hitler said "Give me their brains til they are 12 years old, and they will be Nazis for life"
