not much info yet, just that she and 5 others were shot.

Per someone on scene (interview on CNN), 15 to 20 shots fired. Several bodies still on site. CNN states 12 injured or killed.

Is this another illegal alien incident? Won't be surprised if it is.

I doubt it considering she is a democrat and an illegal would be more inclined, IMO, to go after a republican.

In before teabaggers / republicans / gun-nuts / rush limbaugh, glen beck / sarah palin are blamed.

looks like they got the shooter

The suspect ran off and was tackled by a bystander. He was taken into custody. Witnesses described him as in his late teens or early 20s.

Holy Shit! Whenever she came into my place to eat, she always came back to thank us for her meal. She's a classy lady.

Was this a state legislator?

 

[ConstipatedVigilante]

I kind of blame the shooter. I'll wait until I get more information before I condemn anyone else. I guess I'm simple that way.

I like this comment. The rest of people are just saying how guns should be banned and Sarah Palin is evil.

No she was a US Congresswoman of the 8th District of Arizona.

Gang members are dogs, they don't care who they kill. The land near them belongs to them.

As others have said.. I'll wait for the ID on the shooter before saying more. Though I do have my assumptions as everyone else does.

Now isn't the time for politics.

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

I just turned on CNN and they made sure to mention that the initial "rumors" of dead victims came from Democratic sources. WTF!

She was one of the few politicos in Arizona or, the country for that matter, who acted like a real live human who was always willing to listen.

This sucks! She'll be missed.

:thumbsup:


I don't care if you are a Dem, Rep, or anything else. Killing someone you don't agree with is just dumb.


I also am whondering what the motive is, but will have to wait. Still hoping early reports of her being dead, or anyone for that case, are wrong.

She may yet live.

Seriously? This is the first thing that comes to both of your minds? Not "that's horrible that a bunch of people just got shot." That makes me sad, especially because I know there are lots more like you.

It's awful to see people killed. Period.
