Gabrielle Giffords was fatally shot in the head at close range by a gunman Saturday morning outside a grocery store in Tucson while holding a public event, Fox News has confirmed. Eight others were shot, including three of the Arizona Democrat's aides, at Giffords' "Your Corner" event held at a Safeway grocery story. A suspect is in custody. The three staffers who were shot worked out of Giffords' Arizona office. Giffords has held multiple "Your Corner" events over the past four years, the aide told Fox News, adding that she had held three previous events that this venue before.

Legend Zero Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 I would like to note how many of the other news sources (not fox to my knowledge) have added the fact that she believes in the 2nd Amendment and owns a gun. Aol, Yahoo, and CNN all had that in their stories. (fox might of had it but took it down when she died) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, every news network said she was killed. NPR started the whole nonsense, and it ended up spreading to every other network. Tea Party was not involved. The shooter was an idiot.
