Everyone is still reeling in the shock of the events of Saturday morning where a gunman attempted to kill U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords while she was at a Safeway Store in Tucson, Arizona presenting a "Congress on your Corner" event, and did kill Chief Judge John Roll, Giffords' staff member Gabriel Zimmerman, a nine year old girl, and three other people as well as injuring several others.
