SpaceGhost Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 CNN is saying reports are not good and she is possibly shot in the head. Arizona congresswoman among 12 shot at Tucson grocery (CNN) -- At least 12 people were shot at a Tucson grocery store on Saturday, and U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was among them, a Democratic party source told CNN. Giffords, 40, was holding a constituent meeting at the grocery store when the shooting occurred, according to a schedule posted on her website. CNN could not confirm conditions for Giffords or any of the others wounded, but the Tuscon Citizen newspaper was reporting that Giffords was shot in the head. The Democratic source described the situation as "pretty serious," The shooting occurred at a Safeway shortly after 10 a.m. MST, according to sheriff's spokesman Deputy Jason Ogan. Pictures from the scene showed a Giffords banner hanging from the storefront. Several shot at Tuscon grocery store At least two victims with gunshot wounds were transported at Northwest Medical Center, according to spokesman Richard Parker. "They've been coming in the last 10 minutes. I'm not sure of the severity of their injuries," he said. Ogan said he did not have conditions on any of the wounded and said the motive for the shooting is unclear. "We're just trying to sort this out right now," he said. An employee of a nearby business, Jason Pekau, told CNN that he heard "15 to 20 gunshots." Giffords, a Democrat, was first elected in 2006. She has served as chairwoman of the House Space and Aeronautics Subcommittee and also holds seats on the House Science and Technology and Armed Services committees.

Crossle Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 Was she one of the people really pushing border security? I remember Arizona was, just not who in Arizona was? If so, this might be interesting especially upon finding out who the gunman was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyin Miata Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 She is confirmed dead, along with 6 others. There are conflicting reports on that now. She was shot in the head, but whether or not she died isn't known yet. Reports say she is currently in surgery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossle Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 Assumptions can make yourself look like an ass, just sayin'. I can tell who is looking for an arguement, and it's really stupid considering there aren't any FACTS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyin Miata Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 Assumptions can make yourself look like an ass, just sayin'. Merely making my best guess, if I'm proved wrong then fine. They have the suspect in custody, so I'm sure we'll know by the end of the day what his motivation was. I hope it doesn't have anything to do with a Tea Party member, or any American citizen for that matter. It will only further divide political groups in this country.

Crossle Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 She is confirmed dead, along with 6 others. News stations MSNBC and Fox are saying that she is now out of surgery and doctors are "optimistic" about her recovery. 5 are confirmed dead at this time including a federal judge appointed by Bush Sr. She is still in intensive care, they have not mentioned anything about any possible brain damage, but they haven't realy said where she was shot in the head. Hopefully she pulls through, and as Fox mentioned it will bring gun accessibility back into the lime light most likely as far as how easy it is for nut jobs to obtain weapons. Facts....

Das Borgen Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 i know the reason is legal but why do news outlets have to say "suspected" shooter when we already know who the shooter is for 100% certain? I'd like to know if it extends beyond "innocent until proven guilty" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copperhead Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Legalese. If they were to say he did it, rather than was suspected and then somehow gets acquitted then he could sue for libel or slander. Its a cover your ass thing.
