    Arizona Congresswoman shot

    Breaking news. Fox News is now saying she is in critical condition. She was shot at point blank range. We are living in dangerous times my friends.

        Like that military advisor who ended up in a garbage dump. Something strange is going on.

          People were killed in greater number and in more public fashion in the dark ages...This is nothing new. They killed Kennedy 50 years ago just like this. Nothing strange is going on. Just same ole killing.

            It's a sad story, no doubt, but also a real risk that public servants face. Nothing new about it. Typical Fox news with the facts skewed. She's still alive and in surgury.

              There's no way somebody could survive being shot in the head point blank

              She's probably being kept alive on a machine and it's only a matter of time until they announce she died.

                Out of surgery now, and the doc is optimistic she will recover. Far too early to tell to what degree. She was responsive to commands before surgery, so that's fed the optimism.

                Of course many other people were shot and killed. Yet another demonstration of how much damage one deranged person can do in an open society.

                  I live in Tucson and the local news has said that one of the deaths is a 9 year old. This is bad enough but the fact that a child was killed just has me speechless.

                    You should change the title name it says that she got killed....

                      Yeah, she's not dead according to the latest story I've seen.

                        You can't change thread titles once there's been a reply.. or something like that. Maybe a mod can.

                          Thankfully, she's still alive, but who knows how her brain may have been damaged...

                          In the interest of fairness, Fox News wasn't the only one who reported she died. I think NPR was among the first. That's just the nature of the 24/7 news cycle these days... get the news out there first and vet it later.

                            That's really sad, especially about the 9 year old being killed :(

                              Titled changed.

                              Unspeakably tragic.

                              They've identified the shooter...Jared Lee Loughner Identified As Gabrielle Giffords Shooter (INFO, VIDEOS) Looks pretty crazy to me, even in these crazy times.
