Gabrielle Giffords

I know we've all heard about Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords getting shot yeaterday. Latest reports say 5 or 6 people were killed, including a 9-year old child, and 10 to 12 others injured, these number vary depending one where you look for the information, go figure.

Although the gunman has been captured, reports are now saying that there is another person of interest the authorities are currently looking for.

I am very interested in what kind, or seemingly lack of, security there was at this event yesterday. It just seems hard to believe that a lone gunman with a Glock 9mm was able to kill and injure so many people before he was taken down. Either this guy was an excellent shot, had an extended round magazine, or security was just so laxed that he was able to fire off an entire magazine and load another one and get off a few more shots before anyone was able to do anything about it. It will be very interesting to hear the final story on this.

The entire deal is a tragedy no matter how you look at it.
