Recent twitter posts seem to suggest the congress woman has died after being shot in the head at point blank range, by a white male named Jared Loughner, 22.

Motives are unclear at present, video's on his utube channel suggest he was a 'religious nut'.

Could this shooting be anything to do with the recently tightened (and long overdue) anti illigal immigration measures of the state of Arizona?

MSN Reports - Rep. Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona was shot in the head Saturday when an assailant opened fire outside a grocery store during a meeting with constituents, killing at least five people and wounding several others in a rampage that rattled the nation.

Giffords was among at least 10 people injured, and the hospital said her outlook was "optimistic" and that she was responding.

"She's in critical condition," Dr. Peter Rhee said. "The neurosurgeons have finished operating on her and I can tell you that in the current time period I am very optimistic about recovery ... she was following commands."

The hospital said a 9-year-old child was among the killed, and a federal judge was also fatally shot in the attack. Read more

The idiots on the far left are suggesting that this poster is what motivated the shooter to kill the congress woman.
