Bodies Still at Scene after Arizona Mass Shooting

Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords (D) was shot through the brain at point blank range but is expected to live, although the damage is grievous. She was outside a Safeway at a shopping mall hosting a political gathering for her constituents.

Her aide, Arizona's top federal judge, a nine-year-old girl and three others are dead. The 22-year-old gunman was tackled during his shooting spree and is now in police custody, where he is said to be cooperating somewhat. Thirteen people, including Giffords, were wounded.
