Of course, the news reports are extremely fluid. It appears that the doctors at the Tucson hospital are optimistic that Rep. Gabrielle Giffords will survive her wound. That is great news. The sad news is that at least 5 are confirmed dead including a nine-year-old child and Federal Judge John Roll.
The shooter in custody is identified as 22-year-old Jared Loughner, who may be an Afghanistan war veteran. Below from Business Insider.com is a link to a YouTube video allegedly posted by Loughner.

As yet, it is too soon to state the motive for this shooting. No motive can justify this act. Now is the time to pray for all concerned.

I have been watching the news surrounding Giffords shooting all day. This is truly a tragic event, which also resulted in six shooting deaths and 19 wounded. We all give our condolences and hope and pray for the families. At 4:00 pm, this afternoon, it appears that Giffords will survive this horrid event. From the YouTube information presented on Jaret Loughner, the shooter, reveals a very confused and disturbed individual. From the content of Loughner's Youtube post, it appears that this shooter was apathetic about the utilitarian "Nanny State", which in his minds-eye results in dystopia. Violence is sometimes a result of this perception of the world. Hopefully, we can find these individuals before they take drastic action to find a way out of there percieved problems.
