Congresswoman Giffords and others shot in Arizona

Rep. Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona was shot in the head today when an assailant opened fire outside a grocery store during a meeting with constituents, killing her aide, a child and a federal judge. Several others were injured, some critically, during a rampage that rattled the nation.
President Barack Obama said at least five people had died in the attack.
Giffords was among several wounded, and the hospital said her outlook was "optimistic" and she was expected to recover. "She's in critical condition," Dr. Peter Rhee said. "The neurosurgeons have finished operating on her and I can tell you that in the current time period I am very optimistic about recovery ... she was following commands."A 9-year-old child was among the killed, and a federal judge was also fatally shot

People please if you do not like Palin or Fox news, fine.... But' please don't take a tragic situation like this and exploit it for an opportunity to express your hatred towards them... This is a moment of our time to come together and pray for those who were victim to this tragedy.... Thank You ...... God Bless!

@bello770 Palin had nothing to do with this!

@georgekush This guy is definitely mentally ill, he's had an obsession with Gifford's since 2007, long before most people ever heard of Palin or the Tea Party... What's sad is even before the names of the victims were released, and even before the hospitals were able to contact the families of their outcome, there was a large number of people who chose, instead of showing concern for them, decided to exploit this tragedy to promote their hatred through their propagandist political fantasies!
