Supposedly point blank range, and several other people were hit. She was holding an event outside a grocery store in Tuscon.
She is a democrat put pro gun, and pro-border security. Her husband is a military astronaut.
This is so not what we need right now… doesn’t matter what the motivation of the perpetrator, end results will not be good.
Prayers for her and her family as well as the other victims and their families.
I just read some stuff hoping this was not politically motivated, or personal, but it really sounds like it was.
My thoughts out to all 12 of the people, and the 12 families. Let’s hope they all walk away from this. Haven’t seen anything about a fatality yet.
Hope all innocent people in this matter will live and be ok. This is bad bad bad for us.
I’m seeing reports of multiple fatalities. A real shame. Prayers for everyone affected.
What a terrible tragedy.
15 or 20 shots fired, 12 people shot, US Congresswoman killed. On a side note, I’m going to order several more 30 round Pmags and a couple more cases of .223.
NPR and MSN are reporting 6 dead, including the Congresswoman. No word yet on the scumbag who shot them.
This is VERY bad.
Christ… this is well beyond bad… I’m truly at a loss for appropriate words to describe it…
Countdown for Grijalva initiated guncontrol begins now.
That’s certainly one thing I’m afraid of right now. The other is that, despite how much we may bitch and moan about congresscritters, we can’t just start capping them. That way lies turning America into another Somalia…
So, is this just your local crazy going nuts? She doesn’t sound like the normal target for some kind of politically motivated act, she sounded to the right of John McCain.
CNN and MSNBC are shit talking conservatives and gun owners. Someone on CNN said AZ has an over the top gun culture. They have pretty much already decided its a Tea Party member.
Pretty sick to turn something like this into pushing your agenda right off the bat. They already brought Palin into this with that graph she made about “targeting” certain politicians in the 2010 election. The one with the cross hairs.
No info the gunman yet other than reports he was shot by return fire and is in custody.
Current reports state she is alive but critical.
Having seen head trauma due to gunshot before, I’ll be amazed if she lives. It’ll take a miracle.
This isnt the way we do things in America, we are a democracy, if you dont like your rep., vote em out.
Im leaving the house to purchase a Glock 26 right now. A pistol was used in this, and thats the first thing they’ll try to take after hi-caps. G&R is selling Pmags for $11 right now, buy some people, buy alot.
Out on a limb and say some lib thought she wasn’t liberal enough?
His political motivations do not matter, the liberal media will play him to be a right-wing nut simply becaused he used a gun. They dont know what a left-wing nut is.
Er, federal republic…
Let’s not jump to conclusions.
Not how it played out with the Discovery Channel hostage taker, just sayin’.
She is a conservative dem. Used to be a republican is what Im hearing. She is moderately pro-gun, was part of the reading of the Constitution, was pushing for a pay cut for Congress, wanted more money for Border Security and wanted troops in AZ. She did vote for Obamacare though. She voted against Pelosi for the House minority leader spot.
