Sorry if this is the wrong thread, I just figured it would be the most appropriate location.
Earlier today congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and 18 other people were shot in Tucson, Arizona. 5 people were killed in the attack, including a District Court Judge, an aide, and a 9 year old little girl.
The attack is rumored to be spurred on by her voting 'Republican' on an issue.
Gabrielle Giffords sustained a shot to the head, and as of 1 o'clock was in surgery to remove the bullet from her head. She has since left surgery and is in Intensive Care as she remains in critical condition. Surgeons remain optimistic, but still on guard.
The shooter has been taken into custody and is currently being questioned by the Tucson Sheriff's office.
Here's the MSN article if you want to see more.

As an Arizona citizen, this has hit extremely hard. Especially since she has done so much for my city and surrounding area.
The best we can do is pray for the best that she survives.
