On January 8, 2011, Representative Gabrielle Giffords was holding a open meeting in a supermarket parking lot. During the meeting a man by the name of Jared Lee Lougher started shooting at the people attending including Giffords and Chief Judge John Roll. Fourteen people were injured(13 by gun fire), and there were six death including John Roll. Lougher was arrested at the scene of the shooting. His motives for the shooting are still unclear. Giffords was in critical condition and had to have surgery after being shot in the head.
Only eight days into the new year and something like this happens. When I first heard of this i just sat there in shock. I didn't know why someone would do such a thing, it was really one of those things u wouldn't think of having at a public meeting like this one. But it is good they caught the man that did this. Today Lougher appered in court. On his behalf the court pleaded him not guilty on attempted murder charges.
