News Organizations Retract Reports Of Rep. Giffords’ Death; She Is Alive

video
» 318 comments

After being shot “point-blank” in the head by a gunman at a public constituent event, Rep. Gabrielle Giffords has passed away is alive, critical, and undergoing surgery, according to NPR. Giffords represented the 8th District of Arizona and was known as a moderate Democrat particularly involved in the border control issues.

Giffords was attending a “Congress on your corner” event and speaking to a couple of constituents, reports say, when a man walked up to her and shot her in point-blank range in the head. Eyewitnesses report they heard around 15-20 shots, and at least two bodies were reported in sight. According to NPR, Giffords has now passed:

U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona was shot in the head and killed outside a grocery store in Tucson while holding a public event, Arizona Public Media reported Saturday.

[...]

“Giffords was talking to a couple when the suspect ran up and fired indiscriminately from about four feet away, Michaels said.

The suspect ran off and was tackled by a bystander. He was taken into custody. Witnesses described him as in his late teens or early 20s.”

UPDATE: NPR and Reuters have retracted their death confirmations, while MSNBC reports on air that she is currently undergoing surgery and has not died.

Fox News now reporting at least four others killed, including a small child, but retracting confirmation of her death, reporting she is in “critical condition” at the hospital. Official police reports are saying that 19 people have been shot, with five confirmed dead. Initial report, retraction below:



Fox News’ retraction, report of Rep. Giffords being alive and in critical condition below:

    Someone should sue Sarah Palin and the Tea Party organizations for inciting violence now. Let the lawyer fees add up and pay for their crimes.

  • http://www.swissarmyjew.com Keeva

    This is not at all the time to try to gain political spin from this tragedy. This is a time to set that crap aside and say a prayer for her family and friends. It is beyond reprehensible that the first reaction of both sides is to point fingers and try to score political points. Good people lie dead at the hands of a criminal. We should focus our thoughts and praters on their families and loved ones.

    Y’all can resume the partisan political food fight another day. Today, we as a nation should mourn the loss of a good public servant and good citizens.

  • TeaPartyPatriot

    Even when tragedy strikes, the “Corrupt B-tards” of the lamestream socialist media still lie. “…was known as a moderate Democrat particularly involved in the border control issues.” FACT: giffords was a lunatic-left extremist, pro-AMNESTY, pelosi-puppet, who voted repeatedly to block border security efforts.

  • ChiliPeppersFan

    i’ve never heard her name before but my best wishes go out to her family. i read she is married to a us astronaut and i’m not sure about children but they deserve all our best thoughts for this seemingly senseless crime that also left, i believe, 12 others injured.

    i think the story would have the same impact if you said she served her country as a us representative without mentioning her political affiliation.
    this sorta became a side-subject last night on countdown last night. there was an official of the illinois republican party talking to keith about how he,rep. steve dagles, found over 25 different ways to cut arizonas budget so they could afford transplants to save people’s lives. previously, keith had ripped jan brewer for this calling it the republican’s version of the ‘death panels’ they have repeatedly lied about. rep. dagles said when it comes to life and death it is not a republican/democrat thing but a human thing.

    My thoughts are with Rep. Giffords’ family. She was the type of person we need in Congress.

  • stoogedudes

    My heart goes out to the family and friends and constituents of Mrs. Giffords. There are really no words. Truly tragic. We’ll all be praying.

    That said, how ANYONE could turn this political, left or right, is absolutely beyond me. It is beyond disgusting, it is beyond hateful, it is purely monstrous.

    People, get ahold of yourselves and FORGET ABOUT POLITICS! No one should be blaming ANYONE!! We don’t know the all of the facts yet, so until we do, STOP BEING SUCH HATEFUL PARTISANS!

    Fact: This is a breaking news post about a Congresswoman who was critically injured at a constituent event. There are no politics in the OP. It contains just the basic information that was being reported at the time, along with a paragraph of biographical information. It is not a debate.

    @stoogedudes: I had been largely ignoring MSNBC’s coverage, but kudos to them for being the the first to retract the “passed” story because the Sheriff said it on their air.

    Sorry BFD, Murf’s right, she was pro-life. Care to retract your comments?

    Look, I dont want to turn this into a “thing”.
    This is not the place or the time.
    I was just responding to Gordo, who insisted she is against everything we stand for, which is ridiculous, she voted for health care reform.
    I don’t really care about her politics now, but I do care about how the media is covering her politics.
    Why are FOX (and Gordo) insisting she she was moderate and center right on gun control and immigration?
    What are there motives?
    Those are my concerns.
    I do not watch the news blindly.

    Anyway, if I’m wrong, certainly I retract.

    Gabrielle Giffords (D, AZ-8) has received perfect grades from pro-abortion groups since 2003. 100%, at least six times from at least three groups.

    Let me tell all you people here who can’t seem to get opast their partisanship something:

    I can’t stand Barack Obama. I detest what he’s done and what he stands for. BUT – he is the President of the United States and I would put myself between him and anyone who wanted to harm him, even at the cost of my own life.

    The point is that there is a bigger picture than just politics. Get a grip.

    Harry, I may disagree with you on Obama, but Amen on the rest of it. I would throw myself in front of Bush, Palin, Boehner, McConnell, anyone who serves. Sure, it may be fun to be partisan on things like tax cuts, border security, etc. etc. But when it comes to things like what happened today, I’m too devastated to think about where I stand on issues.

    I know I shouldn’t speculate what happened here, but if this shooting was politically motivated, it is because the shooter let partisanship take him/her over. If we allow this to happen to ourselves, who knows how many other incidents like this could happen? I’ll shed a tear for anyone who loses their life, especially when it is over something as inconsequential as politics.

    Exactly. It’s one thing to disagree with someone’s political views. That sort of debate should be ENCOURAGED. It’s what makes America great.

    But this isn’t about politics. It’s about a woman who has been shot, and others who are either injured or dead. How soulless do you have to be to even CARE about politics right now?

    Seriously, Mediaite, either get rid of these discussions or do some heavy IP bannings, because about 85% of the posts in this topic are downright disgusting.

    Dem. Jerry Nadler already politicizing shooting on Cnn. Cnn, meanwhile, attempted to blame Tea Party and anti Healthcare people but Az staffer on phone said not to politicize.

    If there’s no flag in the constitution then the flag in the film is unknown.
    There’s no flag in the constitution.
    Therefore, the flag in the film is unknown.
    Burn every new and old flag that you see.
    Burn your flag!
    I bet you can imagine this in your mind with a faster speed.
    Watch this protest in reverse!
    Ask the local police; “What’s your illegal activity on duty?”.
    If you protest the government then there’s a new government from protesting.
    There’s not a new government from protesting.
    Thus, you aren’t protesting the government.
    There’s something important in this video: There’s no communication to anyone in this location.
    You shouldn’t be afraid of the stars.
    There’s a new bird on my right shoulder. The beak is two feet and lime green. The rarest bird on earth, there’s no feathers, but small grey scales all over the body. It’s with one large red eye with a light blue iris. The bird feet are the same as a woodpecker. This new bird and there’s only one, the gender is not female or male. The wings of this bird are beautiful; 3 feet wide with the shape of a bald eagle that you could die for. If you can see this bird then you will understand. You think this bird is able to chat about a government?
    I want you to imagine a comet or meteoroid coming through the atmosphere.
    On the other hand, welcome yourself to the desert: Maybe your ability to protest is from the brainwash of the current government structure.

    Well, we have a name. Let’s see if that ties him to any activist organizations.

    Interesting that Roll was a Bush appointee, and also, that Giffords is pro gun-rights and has filed a “friend of the Court” brief to help overturn the District of Columbia gun law. Of course, that won’t stop the NRA prattle about “guns don’t kill people; people kill people.”

    She’s a member of the Blue Dog Coalition in congress, but is also pro-choice and has a 100% rating from NARAL. We all know how that affects the bottom-feeders.

    Well, we have a name. Let’s see if that ties him to any activist organizations.

    Interesting that Roll was a Bush appointee, and also, that Giffords is pro gun-rights and has filed a “friend of the Court” brief to help overturn the District of Columbia gun law. Of course, that won’t stop the NRA prattle about “guns don’t kill people; people kill people.”

    She’s a member of the Blue Dog Coalition in congress, but is also pro-choice and has a 100% rating from NARAL. We all know how that affects the bottom-feeders.

    If Laughner was a card-carrying member of rightwing organizations, the sound of the scrubbing going on should be deafening.

    in the story of the judge being killed http://www.mediaite.com/tv/confirmed-federal-judge-john-roll-among-those-killed-in-arizona-shooting/ there is a link to a story of how he ruled that a trial could go forward in an illegal immigrant civil rights trial against an arizona rancher and he required protection. this happened in 2009.

    For any who would say this story is about the value of human life and not NPR, please consider that you are making my point for me implicitly. If human life is so sacrosanct, why would anyone compel ANYONE to fund NPR under the threat of death? But that is in fact what they do.

    An honest government that respected human life would say “oh, if you don’t think what NPR does is worth paying for? We don’t mind. You can opt out. No problem. We respect your decision.”

    Instead they will yield you no ground. As you resist paying, they will continue to up the ante on the conflict until you comply or until you are dead.

    It was worth it to this person to murder a 9 year old girl. For nothing, for some Fox News invention that gets weak minded people all mad and crazy, crazy enough to kill someone or many people.

    Fox is still spending every 15 minutes making sure people know she was pro-gun, wanted to stiffen border security, and had a husband in the military, and helped read the constitution.

    In short, “she was not our enemy, don’t blame us”.

    They are covering her health care vote or abortion stance barely at all. This is reporting with a narrative.

    They are not to blame, they can cut the crap.

  • dhg

    Well I guess hoping people wouldn’t use this tragedy as a way to promote and/or demonize a political party,movement or agenda was pretty naive.How stupid could I be?

    This is a tragedy and it has no actual verifiable connecting to any known political movement.I doubt one will ever be found.The shooter was a whack job and his online postings prove that.

    I have not yet heard any channel,and I’ve been watching them all switching back and forth,try and characterize this as anything but a crazy random event.

    All that matters is the recovery of the wounded including the Congresswoman and the aide in any form to those who lost loved ones.The shooter will get justice.
    Everything else is just noise,is ghoulish and insensitive on a high level,which makes those engaged in it look less than human.

My deepest sympathies to the families, and other significant others of the victims. My prayers for the survivors as well. Whoever is involved in the shooting may justice be served.

    Fact: I would like to apologize for anything I posted on this thread that was objectionable to any that read it! I’m a conservative, Tea party member in my community, I responded harshly to those with alternate views than mine. I do want the best for all involved. I wished that kooks didn’t run loose and wished that they were dealt with before violence is their outcome. Again my apology.

    Arizona shooting suspect may be linked to anti-Semitic group

    THE suspect being held over Saturday’s shooting of US Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords may have links to anti-Semitic race hate group American Renaissance.

    An internal Department of Homeland Security (DHS) memo quoted by FOX News Channel revealed the gunman – named by the media as Jared Loughner, 22 – is “possibly linked” to American Renaissance.

    The group subscribes to an ideology that is “anti-government, anti-immigration, anti -ZOG (Zionist Occupational Government), anti-Semitic,” according to the DHS memo.

    Giffords “is the first Jewish female elected to such a high position in the US government. She was also opposite this group’s ideology when it came to immigration debate,” the note said.

    The suspect’s mother works the Pima County Board of Supervisors in Arizona, the briefing added.

    The DHS confirmed that the FBI have now taken over the investigation.
