United States Representative Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona was shot in the head outside a grocery store in Tuscon today while holding a public event. The scene was filled with hundreds of bystanders attending an event called “Congress on Your Corner.” A man ran into the crowd of people and fired his gun, reportedly fifteen or more times. The man was tackled and subdued by people at the scene and was apprehended and is said to be in custody.

As I type these words, it is unconfirmed, but the news is saying there were fifteen or more shots and multiple fatalities. So tragic! This isn’t supposed to happen in America!

I set out this morning to look at some articles and post about some current events and this story is what I stumbled across. There is not much to say after coming across such a tragic event. Facts and numbers are still unconfirmed and the last thing I can say about this tragedy is that thoughts and prayers are with the Giffords family and others who’s loved ones may have been injured or killed.

1,745.5 miles to go.
