Hi. So I live in Tucson and this has been a very horrible and heart wrenching situation today.
First off, I am heavily against the Tea Party and their supreme nut job Palin, but I can say 100% without a doubt this has absolutely nothing to do with politics.
This was simply a lunatic tin foil hat wearing weirdo who has some kind of mental condition.
This is the latest developments from my local media/sheriff department.
One gunner 22, year old Jared. He has a troubled past and many very crazy videos on youtube.
He was not alone, there is a suspect who left in a car. Not a shooter but an accomplice.
He walked into the Safeway on our north side of town and shouted something, shot Giffords point blank in the head, then started shooting almost randomly at other people with Giffords, shopping, etc.
He had a semi-automatic pistol of some kind.
Gifford is in critical condition and her doctor is very optimistic at this time.
Five other people are already dead. One was a 9 year old girl, another was a very respected federal Judge.
Five other people are also in critical condition and others in surgery of varying condition.
Total of 19 people shot today.
Jared is in custody and hopefully they'll get his driver soon as many are now looking including FBI.
This was simply a senseless act caused by a very unstable person.
Arizona still carries the death penalty and as this moves through trials I can see him getting it unless the mental condition the latest press released mentioned is something like Schizophrenia or similar.
I am completely astonished this happened in Tucson. I feel horrified that I could have been at that store shopping with my 8 year old and have to watch him die. I am deeply sorrowed for the families of the victims. I pray all those in the hospital make it out ok so no further people have to die do to this monstrous rampage.
