In Attack’s Wake, Political Repercussions
By MARC LACEY and DAVID M. HERSZENHORN --- Published: January 8, 2011
TUCSON — Representative Gabrielle Giffords, an Arizona Democrat, and at least
17 others were shot Saturday morning when a gunman opened fire outside a
supermarket where Ms. Giffords was meeting with constituents.
Six of the victims died, among them John M. Roll, the chief judge for
the United States District Court for Arizona, and a 9-year-old girl,
the Pima County sheriff, Clarence W. Dupnik, said.
Ms. Giffords, 40, whom the authorities called the target of the attack,
was said to be in very critical condition at the University Medical Center in Tucson, where
she was operated on by a team of neurosurgeons. Dr. Peter Rhee, medical director of the
hospital’s trauma and critical care unit, said that she had been shot once in the
head,“through and through,” with the bullet going through her brain.

For now: a prayer for all those still miraculously struggling for life, for those who are helping them,
for those who have been murdered, and for all the families and loved ones affected by this crime.
A prayer too for the dark and twisted soul who committed this act, because it is also a Christian duty
to see the human in him as well.
