Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was target of shooter; accomplice suspected
Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and federal District court Judge John Roll were shot when a gunman opened fire outside a congressional event at a Tucson, Ariz., grocery store Friday, killing six people.
Roll, Giffords aide Gabe Zimmerman and a 9-year-old girl were killed. But Giffords, who was rushed to the hospital for emergency brain surgery, is expected to survive the injuries she sustained when a bullet passed through her brain. Nineteen people were shot at the Safeway store, but Giffords was the intended target of the shooting, Arizona law enforcement officials said at a Saturday evening press conference.
