Extremely disturbing [UPDATE] [UPDATE II]

Congresswoman, 6 Others, Killed By Gunman

a very bad feeling in my tummy...
Gabrielle Giffords, a Democratic congresswoman from Arizona, was shot and killed today at a public event outside a grocery store.


[UPDATE]
According to Darci Slaten, University Medical Center public affairs officer, Gifford's death has not been confirmed.

"She is alive and in surgery right now," Slaten said.


[UPDATE II]

Giffords was among at least 10 people wounded, and the hospital said her outlook was "optimistic" and that she was responding to commands from doctors despite having a bullet go through her head.
