This past Saturday, a tragic event occurred in Tucson, Arizona. Congress member, Gabrielle Giffords, was fired upon while hosting a meeting in the parking lot of a shopping center. The man behind the gun was just a 22 year old named Jared Lee Loughner. He had a total of 31 rounds in his gun and police claim that he fired every single one of those bullets into the crowd. His attempt on Giffords' life proved unsuccessful, but she did get shot in the head and is still in critical condition at the University Medical Center at Tucson. Doctors can't predict her condition even if she does survive, but they are saying she could have problems with common tasks like speech. The gunman took away the lives of 6 individuals and injured 13 others, including Giffords. The six people killed range from a judge to a 9-year-old school girl. Loughner won't cooperate with authorities and the reasons behind the attack are still somewhat unknown.
It's tragic that for sure. I was listening to Obama’s speech and he mention that when he went to see her at the hospital she actually opened her eyes, which I found very interesting and fortunate because usually people with such sever head traumas never wake up or if they do wake up they have very high risk of mental problems. Hope luck stays in her side through this... Rod out…
