Safari isn't working on my iPhone, for some reason, so I'm basically screwed trying to give you guys links (IPB app doesn't let me browse away). If anyone can help me with that, I'd appreciate it.

 

Early reports were that she passed away, and now they are saying she's in critical condition, in surgery, at Univ. hospital. Parents confirmed it, and so did someone on staff at the hospital.

 

Four or five others have died, one may be a federal judge, one may be a kid...but reports are coming out that say the child is also in critical condition.

(CNN) -- U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was critically wounded Saturday in a shooting at a Tucson, Arizona, grocery store in which at least 11 other people were injured, officials said.

 

Darci Slaten, a spokeswoman for University Medical Center in Tucson, said Giffords was undergoing surgery Saturday afternoon for a gunshot wound to the head.

 

A federal judge from Arizona was among the 11 others shot in the incident, a law enforcement source told CNN.

 

The shooting happened shortly after 10 a.m. MST, Pima County Sheriff's Department spokesman Jason Ogan said.

Sarah Palin's "map" that was posted on her website the other day, and that she recently removed.

I was just about to post this. I hate getting into politics on the internet, but it's pretty hard for me to believe that this is a coincidence. This is a [expletive]ed up world we live in.

It's truly disgusting and sad.

Great to hear that she's fine but still 4 people were killed over something so stupid and probably didn't involve them...any word on the kid?

 

Edit: wow. RIP. :(

I don't understand what Palin's map has to do with the shooting?

 

It is really sad, I saw this all over CNN about an hour or two ago.

 

She is reportedly alive after immediate surgery. She was shot at point blank range and the bullet did go through her brain, so who knows if she'll be able to speak or walk after this.

Absolutely terrible and disgusting. That's awesome news though that she's made it through surgery. Hopefully she fights through it and gets well soon.

 

What does Palin's map have to do with anything again?

I think it's just the idiot decision to use crosshairs on a map for people who voted for the Healthcare Bill, and then to say 17 more to go or whatever it said on there... Obviously not her intention (not that I think she runs or has direct ties to the site anyway), but it still looks bad. Glad it was taken down. Kind of a non-issue in the grand scheme.

Well obviously it looks bad now, but its trying to send a message to people about what she wants to get done so she can go about it however she pleases. Good decision though to take it down after this. I can't believe someone would really do this, and kill a child in the process.

lol no... no she can't. She's already going to have some explaining to do, as a public political figure you certainly can't "go about it however you please". Don't be so ignorant.
