Photo Shows Giffords Seconds Before Shooting
CBS News reports:
A picture snapped less than a minute before Tucson's horrific mass shooting shows Rep. Gabrielle Giffords doing what her staff says "she loves to do; talk to her constituents."
Standing in front the Safeway store on Jan. 8 at her "Congress on your Corner Event," Giffords was talking to Jim Tucker and his wife Doris when the shots rang out. Doris was standing right there when her husband and Giffords fell to the ground. "I remember putting my hands to my ears and screaming," Doris told us in a previous interview, "I just concentrated on Jim, kneeling down by him, grabbing his hand."
Giffords was shot in the head. Jim Tucker took two shots to his body, one in his calf and the other in his collarbone, He recalls, "My body was just in shock, I was just spread out on my back, and I couldn't move."
Tucker wrote to me in an e-mail, "I could not see the others, but I could barely see my wife crouching near the concrete. I felt paralyzed, unable to move. Miraculously, she had not been shot."
