The CNN anchor is speaking with a worker at a Sprint Store in the shopping center complex.

People told him that the Congresswoman had been shot point blank in the head, the gunman kept firing, and that from his window he can see at least 2 possibly 3 bodies laying in front of a Safeway store.

Wiki indicates that she passed away.
So much for tarring and feathering people: shootings, mail bombs, etc...
Americans are getting fed up.

The Sprint employee said that there were at least 3 lifecare helicopters on scene, police were searching cars in the parking lot, and there is currently no one in custody.

This same employee had been told by witnesses (and possibly a policeman) that there were at least 5 possibly 6 dead.

Unconfirmed 6 dead, 15 wounded according to the Sprint employee. He says he sees at least 2 to 3 bodies laying in front of Safeway. He heard the gunshots and they just continued one after another non-stop.

There are some sick and twisted MoFo's out there.

Someone decides to shoot someone because of what they represent. Worse, they decide to shoot up people in the crowd. Unarmed, unaware, undeserving innocents.

[dmyre]

Looks like he was a left wing nut job...

[Gerry]

I read the garbage he posted. He had apparently joined the army, attended Pima Community College. He rants about education being unconstitutional because its free. The currency is unconstitutional because its "created". He also seems to be anti-immigrant as he mentions if you know the english language you are literate; most of the students and staff at the college do not know (have command?) of the english language therefore they are illiterate. Because he is being taught by illiterate professors then is education is unconstitutional.

Everything to him is unconstitutional including reading the constitution as it is a form of mind control.

Bizarro.

Canadian news is reporting she is still alive but in very critical condition...

Was she one of the Democrats teabagger Palin superimposed cross-hairs over?

[Infoproliferati]

Yup! Gifford was one of the 20. Apparently, Sarah Palin's site scrubbed information regarding the cross-hairs issue. Her other site takebackthe20.com was hastily taken offline in light of events.

Here is a video of the Congresswoman talking about that very thing.

Obama claimed to be good friends with Gabrielle Giffords, but had to pause to look at his pre-written speech to recall her name. (:12 into the speech)
He then started calling her "Gabby" to indicate their closeness. 1:16 in Obama says "Gabby Giffords was (2-3 second pause)... a good friend of mine".

What a sham....

Rep. Gabrielle Giffords' blood is on Sarah Palin's hands after putting cross hair over district

.....Palin should have taken it as a warning of what might happen when a Tea Party hothead dropped a gun while heckling Giffords at an earlier Congress On Your Corner event, more than a year ago.

That did not stop Palin from declaring Giffords a "target." Giffords' district office was subsequently vandalized, and the congresswoman noted that Palin had put "the cross hairs of a gun sight over our district."

"When people do that, they have to realize that there are consequences to that action," Giffords said.

Rep. Giffords' Tucson office vandalized after health care vote

By Rhonda Bodfield Arizona Daily Star | Posted: Monday, March 22, 2010 10:59 am



The front door was smashed out at Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords’ congressional office last night.
At 2:40 a.m., just a few hours after staff left the building after the late-night vote, the alarm system went off, said spokesman C.J. Karamargin. The panel to the front door and the glass panel alongside it were smashed out. The perpetrator likely had to hop the gated fence to get access to the door, since it’s not viewable from the parking lot.

And speaking of Obama & Arizona:

Back to the topic - half of the news reports say she's dead, the other half says she's alive.

Now they're saying she can communicate (simple commands and words).

It is very amazing. Wishing her and the other survivors the best in their recoveries.

On another note, the shooter was a left wing psycho, that was previously a staunch supporter of Giffords.
He was not a supporter of Palin or the Tea Party movement.
It sickens me that the media is attempting to shift the blame to the right.

[ilovedomains]

The books he lists are what you would find on an anarchists/skinheads book shelf. Everything from Ayn Rand and Hitler to Karl Marx. This guy is from the same mold as the unibomber or Timothy McVeigh. He isnt left or right, he is just crazy. When the voices in their heads start telling them to shoot nine year old girls, even the anarchists want to disown them.

He may have ties to the anti-Semitic, anti-immigration hate group American Renaissance:

Where on earth are you getting that information?

I have not seen or heard any of that from any legit media outlet.
