It looks like Representative Gabrielle Giffords and several of her staffers were shot at an event this morning in Arizona. I think as of now we don’t know anything about the motives, if any, of the shooter but I hope people take something horrible like this as a reminder that we’ve seen a lot of overheated political rhetoric over the past couple of years.
