Today an attempted political assassination took place in the United States. The target of this terror, Democratic House Representative Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona, is in critical condition after being shot in the head by a twenty-two year old male. As of this writing, six people have died as a result of this despicable act.
Christina Taylor Green, 9 years old – Student Council Representative
Gabriel Zimmerman, 30 years old – Director of Community Outreach
John McCarthy Roll, 63 years old – U. S. District Judge
Dorothy Morris, 76 years old – Constituent
Dorwin Stoddard, 76 years old - Pastor
Phyllis Schneck, 79 years old – Constituent
In addition to Representative Gabrielle Giffords, thirteen others are injured, including Giffords’ staff members Ron Barber and Pam Simon.
The political divide in the United States has now taken lives and unless leadership renounces the trend of apartness, Tucson may only be the beginning of further tragedies. The country is at the precipice. Which direction people, which direction?
