AZ shooting targets US congresswoman, kills 6 By PAULINE ARRILLAGA, Associated Press - JAN 9,11 8AM

TUCSON, Ariz. – The shady individual showed up at a public gathering for Rep. Gabrielle Giffords asking to see the lawmaker, according to event volunteer Alex Villec. Told he would have to wait his turn, the man left but returned minutes later and gunfire erupted.The man, wearing a black cap and baggy pants and shirt, rushed by a table separating him and Giffords, raised an arm, and then came shots, Villec, 19, told The Associated Press.Firing a semiautomatic weapon, the gunman targeted Giffords as she met with constituents around 10 a.m. Saturday outside a busy Tucson supermarket. Authorities said Arizona's chief federal judge and five others were killed and 13 people were wounded, including the Democrat lawmaker.He also fired at her district director and shot indiscriminately at staffers and others standing in line to talk to the congresswoman, said Mark Kimble, a communications staffer for Giffords.He was not more than three or four feet from the congresswoman and the district director, Kimble said, describing the scene as just complete chaos, people screaming, crying.

Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik said the rampage ended only after two people tackled the gunman.He was definitely on a mission, said Villec, a former Giffords intern.Police say the shooter was in custody, and was identified by people familiar with the investigation as Jared Loughner, 22. U.S. officials who provided his name to the AP spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release it publicly.His motivation was not immediately known, but Dupnik described him as mentally unstable and possibly acting with an accomplice. His office said a man possibly associated with the suspect who was near the scene was being sought. The man, who was photographed by a security camera, was described as white with dark hair and 40-45 years old.The assassination attempt left the three-term congresswoman in critical condition after a bullet passed through her head.It also left Americans questioning whether divisive politics had pushed the suspect over the edge.A shaken President Barack Obama called the attack a tragedy for our entire country.Attorney General Eric Holder said in a statement Sunday that FBI Director Robert Mueller was traveling to Arizona to help coordinate the investigation.Giffords, 40, is a moderate Democrat who narrowly won re-election in November against a tea party candidate who sought to throw her from office over her support of the health care law. Anger over her position became violent at times, with her Tucson office vandalized after the House passed the overhaul last March and someone showing up at a recent gathering with a weapon.

Authorities said the dead included U.S. District Judge John Roll, 63; Christina Greene, 9; Giffords aide Gabe Zimmerman, 30; Dorothy Morris, 76; Dorwin Stoddard, 76; and Phyllis Scheck, 79. Judge Roll had just stopped by to see his friend Giffords after attending Mass.The sheriff blamed the vitriolic political rhetoric that has consumed the country, much of it occurring in Arizona.Giffords expressed similar concern, even before the shooting. In an interview after her office was vandalized, she referred to the animosity against her by conservatives, including Sarah Palin's decision to list Giffords' seat as one of the top targets in the midterm elections.
For example, we're on Sarah Palin's targeted list, but the thing is, that the way that she has it depicted has the crosshairs of a gun sight over our district. When people do that, they have to realize that there are consequences to that action, Giffords said in an interview with MSNBC.In the hours after the shooting, Palin issued a statement in which she expressed her sincere condolences to the family of Giffords and the other victims. During his campaign effort to unseat Giffords in November, Republican challenger Jesse Kelly held fundraisers where he urged supporters to help remove Giffords from office by joining him to shoot a fully loaded M-16 rifle. Kelly is a former Marine who served in Iraq and was pictured on his website in military gear holding his automatic weapon and promoting the event.

I don't see the connection, between the fundraisers featuring weapons and Saturday's shooting, said John Ellinwood, Kelly's spokesman. I don't know this person, we cannot find any records that he was associated with the campaign in any way. I just don't see the connection. Arizona is a state where people are firearms owners — this was just a deranged individual.Law enforcement officials said members of Congress reported 42 cases of threats or violence in the first three months of 2010, nearly three times the 15 cases reported during the same period a year earlier. Nearly all dealt with the health care bill, and Giffords was among the targets.The shooting cast a pall over the Capitol as politicians of all stripes denounced the attack as a horrific. Capitol police asked members of Congress to be more vigilant about security in the wake of the shooting. Obama dispatched his FBI chief to Arizona. Doctors were optimistic about Giffords surviving as she was responding to commands from doctors. With guarded optimism, I hope she will survive, but this is a very devastating wound, said Dr. Richard Carmona, the former surgeon general who lives in Tucson.

At 6 a.m. Sunday, University Medical Center spokeswoman Darcy Slaten said the congresswoman was in critical condition and sedated after undergoing two hours of surgery. She said nine other wounded were being treated at the hospital, four of them critical and five of them serious. Slaten said the three others were treated at other hospitals and released. Giffords spokesman C.J. Karamargin said besides the aide Zimmerman, who was killed, two other Giffords staffers were shot but expected to survive. Zimmerman was a former social worker who served as Giffords' director of community outreach.Greg Segalini, an uncle of Christina, the 9-year-old victim, told the Arizona Republic that a neighbor was going to the event and invited her along because she had just been elected to the student council and was interested in government.Christina, who was born on Sept. 11, 2001, was involved in many activities, from ballet to baseball. She had just received her first Holy Communion at St. Odilia's Catholic Church in Tucson, Catholic Diocese of Tucson officials told The Arizona Daily Star.In the evening, more than 100 people attended a candlelight vigil outside Giffords' headquarters, where authorities investigated a suspicious package that turned out to be non-explosive.The suspect Loughner was described by a former classmate as a pot-smoking loner, and the Army said he tried to enlist in December 2008 but was rejected for reasons not disclosed.Federal law enforcement officials were poring over versions of a MySpace page that included a mysterious Goodbye friends message published hours before the shooting and exhorted his friends to Please don't be mad at me.

In one of several YouTube videos, which featured text against a dark background, Loughner described inventing a new U.S. currency and complained about the illiteracy rate among people living in Giffords' congressional district in Arizona. I know who's listening: Government Officials, and the People, Loughner wrote.Nearly all the people, who don't know this accurate information of a new currency, aren't aware of mind control and brainwash methods. If I have my civil rights, then this message wouldn't have happen (sic).In Loughner's middle-class neighborhood — about a five-minute drive from the scene — sheriff's deputies had much of the street blocked off. The neighborhood sits just off a bustling Tucson street and is lined with desert landscaping and palm trees.Neighbors said Loughner lived with his parents and kept to himself. He was often seen walking his dog, almost always wearing a hooded sweat shirt and listening to his iPod.Loughner's MySpace profile indicates he attended and graduated from school in Tucson and had taken college classes. He did not say if he was employed.High school classmate Grant Wiens, 22, said Loughner seemed to be floating through life and doing his own thing.Sometimes religion was brought up or drugs. He smoked pot, I don't know how regularly. And he wasn't too keen on religion, from what I could tell, Wiens said.

Lynda Sorenson said she took a math class with Loughner last summer at Pima Community College's Northwest campus and told the Arizona Daily Star he was obviously very disturbed.He disrupted class frequently with nonsensical outbursts, she said.In October 2007, Loughner was cited in Pima County for possession of drug paraphernalia, which was dismissed after he completed a diversion program, according to online records.Giffords was first elected to Congress amid a wave of Democratic victories in the 2006 election, and has been mentioned as a possible Senate candidate in 2012 and a gubernatorial prospect in 2014.She is married to astronaut Mark E. Kelly, who has piloted space shuttles Endeavour and Discovery. The two met in China in 2003 while they were serving on a committee there, and were married in January 2007. Sen. Bill Nelson, chairman of the Senate Commerce Space and Science Subcommittee, said Kelly is training to be the next commander of the space shuttle mission slated for April. His brother is currently serving aboard the International Space Station, Nelson said.Giffords is known in her southern Arizona district for her numerous public outreach meetings, which she acknowledged in an October interview with The Associated Press can sometimes be challenging.You know, the crazies on all sides, the people who come out, the planet earth people,she said following an appearance with Adm. Mike Mullen in which the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was peppered with bizarre questions from an audience member.I'm glad this just doesn't happen to me.Associated Press Writers Amanda Lee Myers and Terry Tang in Tucson, Jacques Billeaud, Bob Christie and Paul Davenport in Phoenix, and David Espo, Matt Apuzzo, Eileen Sullivan, Adam Goldman and Charles Babington in Washington contributed to this report.

By David Espo | Associated Press Published: January 08, 2011

These officials said one of the victims died soon after the attack, and others were taken to a nearby hospital.The officials said the wounded included some of Gifford's aides who were with her at the time.The officials who described the events did so on condition of anonymity, saying they were not permitted to comment publicly.They said the FBI and local law enforcement were investigating the attack, which took place while Giffords was greeting constituents outside a grocery store.Giffords, 40, was re-elected to her third term last November. She was a member of the Arizona House and Senate before coming to Washington.She first won election to Congress amid a wave of Democratic victories in 2006.

Arizona shooting leaves US stunned - America has a long history of assaults on its politicians but this comes in a climate of deep division and growing extremism
Paul Harris guardian.co.uk, Saturday 8 January 2011 23.05 GMT 7:40PM EST

The shooting of Arizona congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and some of her top aides has left America shocked. Not only for the violence against an elected leader but also for the fact that it happened in broad daylight.Politicians from all sides expressed outrage and sadness.I am horrified by the senseless attack ... an attack on one who serves is an attack on all who serve,said Republican House speaker John Boehner. This is a sad day for our country.The recent heated political atmosphere in America has led many to fear for the safety of elected officials. And the attack on Giffords is not without precedent. America has a long history of attacks on its leaders, whether from deranged loners, politically motivated assailants or even cults. They have spanned the full gamut from rightwingers to leftist revolutionaries. The last congressman to be murdered was Leo Ryan who was killed during the Jonestown cult massacre in Guyana in 1978.Few are expecting the circumstances surrounding the attack on Giffords to be as bizarre as that. But it is certainly no less disturbing set against a background of heated rhetoric. Much debate has painted American politicians in general, and the federal government in particular, as somehow being a force for evil. Indeed many rightwing commentators have portrayed President Barack Obama and senior Democrats as socialists or even Marxists bent on fundamentally changing the American way of life. Some fringe groups and conservative politicians have even hinted at resorting to illegal measures in order to defend the nation from what they see as a dire threat. Giffords's own offices were vandalised after she voted for healthcare reform.

Elsewhere, there has been a rash of attacks on government targets from individuals pursuing extremist aims. Last year in Texas Joseph Stack flew a private aeroplane into a branch of the Internal Revenue Service tax authorities. He left a rambling suicide note that contained numerous anti-government statements. Neo-Nazi James von Brunn shot dead a security guard at the Holocaust Museum in Washington in 2009. In the same year a doctor who performed abortion was killed in Kansas City and several incidents occurred in which people with links to white supremacists killed people or were found with explosives caches.Gun-rights advocates across America have made a point of turning up to some political events carrying weapons, including powerful rifles, in order to demonstrate their right to bear arms. That is a fact that might become relevant given that the shooting of Gifford occurred in public at an open meet and greet political event.The rise of political extremism in recent years has been tracked by the Southern Poverty Law Centre which issued a report in 2009 that warned of rising numbers of potentially violent right-wing militia groups. The numbers of hate groups grew from 602 in 2000 to 926 in 2009, the organisation has found.Attacks on American politicians can happen at any time, anywhere and seemingly for any reason. In 1981 Republican President Ronald Reagan was shot by John Hinckley in Washington DC. Hinckley later claimed he was acting out of a desire to impress the actress Jodie Foster. He was found not guilty by reason of insanity and has been in psychiatric care ever since.

The deaths that plagued the Kennedy family also came about via a variety of causes. The 1963 murder of President John F Kennedy has long been the subject of endless and fruitless conspiracy theories. Officially the assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, acted alone on a deranged one-man mission. But many people believe in a greater plot. Kennedy's brother Robert was killed while campaigning in 1968 by Palestinian Sirhan Sirhan, who made an antisemitic diatribe during his trial.Many other presidents and top elected leaders have also had attempts on their lives. Gerald Ford, who was only president for three years, faced two. The first was a shooting attempt by a one-time follower of murderous cult leader Charles Manson. The second, just three weeks later, was a leftist revolutionary who had become fascinated by the Patti Hearst kidnapping. The suspect identified by media as having been arrested in the Giffords shooting is Jared Lee Loughner, aged 22. A YouTube channel purportedly linked to him has been turned up in which he had apparently posted several videos.Much of the content was deeply confused and incoherent, claiming the government was attempting to control people's minds by controlling grammar.
