I’d like to see more details. But interesting nonetheless.

How very, very ‘effed up.
Breaking News of the Day: Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) was killed this morning along with at least six others outside a Safeway in Tucson during a “Congress on Your Corner” event after being shot point blank in the head. Several others were wounded in the attack.
Giffords, the youngest woman to be elected to the House (30), thus becomes the first female politician to be assassinated, and the first US rep to be killed in the line of duty since Leo Ryan (D-CA), who was shot by the Jonestown cult.
Some are pointing out that Giffords was on Sarah Palin’s gun-sight “hit list” (above / source), but, though the gunman is reportedly in custody, their motives are not known at this time.
RIP.

Saw this on the “I Love Charts” tumblr sans the “key” so I took it upon myself to get a new snapshot that includes the key! (Although driving traffic to Mother Jones’ website is not a bad thing.)
