 As many of you are aware, earlier today a number of people were shot in Tuscon Arizona, including several who are meeting at the supermarket with the congresswoman, Grabrielle Giffords. We are still assembling all the facts, but we know that representative Giffords was one of the victims. She is currently at a hospital in the area, and she is battling for her life. We also know that at least five people lost their lives in this tragedy. Among them were Federal Judge, Jone Roal who's served American's legal system for almost 40 years, and a young girl, who's barely nine years old. I've spoken to Arizona Governor, Jean Brown, and offered the full resources of the federal government. The suspect is currently in custody 1, but we don't yet know what provoked this unspeakable act. A comprehensive investigation 2 is currently underway. And my direction, director Bob Molle, is in route to Arizona, to help coordinate 3 these efforts. I've also spoken to the democratic and republican leaders in the House.


 
Gabrielle Giffords was a friend of mine. She is not only an extraordinary public servant, but she is also somebody who is warm and caring. She is well liked by her colleagues and well liked by her constituents 4. Her husband Mark Kelle, is a navy captain, and one of American's valiant 5 astronauts. It's not surprising that today Gabby was doing what she always does. Listening to the hopes, and concerns of her neighbors, and that is the essence what our democracy is all about. That is why this is more than a tragedy for those involved. It is a tragedy for Arizona, and a tragedy for our entire country.
 
What Americans do at a time of tragedy is to come together and support each other. So at this time, I ask all Americans to join me and Michelle in keeping all the victims and their families,including Gabby, in our thoughts and prayers, those who have been injured, we are routing for them. I know Gabby is as tough as they come, and I'm hopeful that she is going to pull it through. Obviously, her hearts go out to the family members those who have been slammed. We're gonna get to the bottom of this, and we're gonna to get through this. But in the meantime, I think all of us, need to make sure that we're offering our thoughts and prayers, to those concern. Thank you.
