Horror

You've probably heard that Representative Gabrielle Giffords was shot today along with what's being reported as as many as 11 others at a political event in Tuscon. They apparently have the shooter in custody.
We have no idea what the motivation for this is and whether it's political. But one cannot help but recall that she had been threatened as have others over her health care vote.
We'll know soon enough.
Update: Reports from Reuters and NPR are that Representative Giffords has died. Awful, awful, awful ...
RIP.
Update II: it's now being reported that she is still in surgery, not deceased. Oy ...
Best to remain skeptical of everything right now. Let's just say that America's shooting gallery has a problem and leave it at that for the moment.
