It is indeed tragic, and our thoughts should be for the slain, the injured, and their loved ones.
However, this debate can serve two valuable purposes:
1. To try to understand how such an event can occur
2. To consider what might be done to prevent such a thing from happening again.
I have heard two further details on the whole story:
1. Gabrielle Giffords' doctors are cautiously optimistic about her survival and recovery. The longer term prognosis is still uncertain, but there have been promising signs with respect to the extent of her injuries. Let's hope the news continues to be favourable.
2. The youngest victim was born on Sept 11, 2001. Her arrival surely seen as a ray of optimism on a very dark day, she sadly and poignantly lost her brief life in another tragedy.

By Nado - Sat 08/01/11 21:36:41 GMT A lovely, intelligent, and good-hearted person is attacked, shot - nearly killed. Yet so many of us are spending our energy on puerile discussions about firearms and gun control. Yes, I have strong opinions on the matter, but I'm keeping them to myself. Instead, my thoughts and prayers are with Gabrielle Giffords and her family, along with my deepest hope for a thorough and speedy recovery. |
