A few random thoughts about the shooting of Congresswoman Giffords.
We had just sat down for Lunch. 12:30 pm. I turned on the TV for the local news..
The first chilling word that came to mind, was ‘deja’vu’, Kennedy!
Gazhekwe: If you are reading this, you may recall my words, “ Everything that goes around, comes around.”
When it happens around the world, it is a very sad occasion.
When it happens in our own background, something happens in the pit of my stomach.
You see the helicopters and the EM vehicles on TV, in the shopping center where the shooting took place. 6 dead and 8 wounded, although not confirmed , as of this moment, regarding casualties. It will vary.
Tucson is a Democratic stronghold. Giffords, a Democrat, was a shoo in for re-election.
Oracle Road and Ina Road, where the shooting took place, would be synonymous with Woodward and Six Mile.
2:05 pm. At this moment, conflicting reports keep coming in. The Head of Surgery in the Hospital, made the statement that Giffords was shot in the head, through and through, and surgery was completed. She is in ICU. Too early for any prognosis.
