I believe 6 did die.
I say give the police time to investigate the real motive before making accusations. Early indications is that the guy was nuts and politics may have had something to do with it. We'll see.

Yes, lets not turn this into a political rant - from either side. We have 6 Americans dead and 14 wounded, many in critical condition. This alone is bad enough.
We have a serving member of Congress shot doing the country's and the people's business.
Let the investigation continue and get the facts in without more vitriol from either corner. Early reports are that the shooter may have been off his rocker. |

pray for the victims of this attack....
MSNBC, CNN, NY Times and others.....we see your true colors shining through....
guess they forgot that they also labled the Times Square Bomber as an angry, white, tea party-type.... probably upset about healthcare and motivated by Fox and Palin and rightwing radio....
getting old...  |

was getting ready to leave the gym when this popped on MSNBC. saw the transition from reported dead to critical. the disturbing trends.
1. the misreporting on her death across the board
2. Fox and others reported first the shooter was an illegal
3. Someone at the gym asking me (when they saw me watching it) if the shooter was a Mexican, just because it was Arizona and that seemed logical to them.
The shame of it is, if this was remotely politically motivated (even though the shooter was a lunatic) she is among the bluest bluedogs in the house; strong anti-immigration, former republican, admittedly she was center left, but yes voted for health care. Especially tragic b/c apparently this was a common event for her to get out and meet her constituents and talk to them.
Props to Langivin, who as of now states he won't change his routine, security etc, realizing that this was hopefully an isolated case.
Hope she pulls through with limited brain damage.

??? I saw early speculation that this was possibly a Mexian drug cartel hit and not outside the realm of possiblility given the violence that is being perpetrated on both sides of the border and I believe she was working hard to fight the Mexican Drug Cartels which may explain what your friend at the gym said, before you assume he or she is a racist bigot...

how would anyone know if the shooter was an "illegal" or not? or a tea-partier for that matter?
