Congresswomen Gabrielle Giffords Shot, but Surviving

Democrat Gabrielle Giffords was shot through the head Saturday, January 8. She was giving a speech in a grocery store and shooter Jared Loughner ran up and shot her in the head. He killed 6 people, along with a 9-year-old girl, and wounded many more. Giffords in in critical condition currently but is surviving. This is miraculous that she is alive because few can survive a bullet through the head. This incident is very disheartening, this is America. A shooting of a congresswomen should not happen in the United States. It is very sad that something like this would happen. This will impact our nation by partly defining our country with this incident. Foreigners will look at the United States and think about how an American shot another American. Also Congresswomen Giffords is very important to our government, which shows that Loughner did not agree with our government. With his opposing of American government, that shows that some Americans are so against their own government that they choose to go to extreme costs to destroy it.
