Riding home in the truck I heard something on the radio about a shooting in Tucson, which is a long ways from here. But the shooting was extremely unusual in that one of the victims is a U. S. Congresswoman. Evidently she was hosting a public meeting of some sort and some guy came up and shoot her and then emptied his gun shooting everyone in the crowd.
As soon as I got home I turned on the TV to see what that was all about. It is still too early to know many details, but so far they say that 6 people are dead and 18 are injured. The Congresswoman is still alive and in surgery but was shot in the head, so it doesn’t look very promising.
This whole thing is just shocking. My sympathies go to the victims and their families.
