Unbelievable.

Completely despicable.

Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was shot in the head by a gunman at a public event on Saturday. There are conflicting reports about whether she was killed.

The Pima County, Ariz., sheriff’s office told member station KJZZ the 40-year-old Democrat was killed. At least nine other people, including members of her staff, were injured.

Giffords, who was re-elected to her third term in November, was hosting a “Congress on Your Corner” event at a Safeway in northwest Tucson when a gunman ran up and started shooting, according to Peter Michaels, news director of Arizona Public Media.

And when the finger pointing starts about what creates an environment that allows folks to do such terrible things-the rhetoric is going to get really ugly.

UPDATE: The shooter has been identified and the search of his My Space comments has begun.
