A memorial rests on a highway on Jan. 8 for the six people that lost their lives in a deadly shooting last year across from the La Toscana Village Safeway in Tucson, Ariz. Memorial services will be held throughout the day in Tucson to commemorate the one year anniversary of a shooting rampage that killed six people and wounded more than a dozen including U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ).
AP reports:
The 41-year-old Giffords has spent the last year in Houston undergoing intensive physical and speech therapy. Doctors and family have called her recovery miraculous after the Jan. 8 shooting; she is able to walk and talk, vote in Congress and gave a televised interview to ABC's Diane Sawyer in May. But doctors have said it would take many months to determine the lasting effects of her brain injury. The three-term congresswoman has four months to decide whether to seek re-election.
"She's making a lot of progress. She's doing great," said Rep. Debbie Wasserman Shultz, a close friend, said. "She still has a long way to go."

She's an incredible and inspirational woman and I hope her condition continues to improve.
Even though I do not consider myself a Democrat I agree with you. She is a remarkable woman. No one should have to go through what that idiot put her through including the relatives of those killed. Sad world we live in these days that we have to worry about the maniacs walking around free.
While she is the only one of the group of people injured who had some social prominence it is good Tucson hasn't forgotten those who were killed and the others who were injured as well. The media certainly does forget.
I cant be the only one who's noticed the striking and disturbing similarities between Gabby and Uma Thermans character in kill bill.
