CNN REPORTING ON THE SHOOTING IN ARIZONA:A couple of victims with gunshot wounds have arrived at Northwest Medical Center, according to spokesman Richard Parker. “They’ve been coming in the last 10 minutes. I’m not sure of the severity of their injuries,” he said. Ogan said the motive for the shooting is unclear. “We’re just trying to sort this out right now,” he said.
U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona was shot outside a grocery store in Tucson while holding a public event, an eyewitness reported Saturday.
Giffords, who was re-elected to her third term in November, was hosting her first “Congress on Your Corner event at the Safeway in northwest Tucson when a gunman ran up and started shooting. At least five other people, including members of her staff, were hurt, according to Peter Michaels, news director of Arizona Public Media.
Giffords was transported to University Medical Center in Tucson. Her condition was not immediately known.
Michaels said Giffords was talking to a couple when the man ran up, firing indiscriminately, and then ran off. He was tackled by a bystander and presumably taken into custody.
Ghostbusters 3 script is ready, according to the director

The information demanded by the DOJ is sweeping in scope. It includes all mailing addresses and billing information known for the user, all connection records and session times, all IP addresses used to access Twitter, all known email accounts, as well as the ”means and source of payment,” including banking records and credit cards. A copy of the Subpoena served on Twitter is here.
The Subpoena was court ordered, signed by a federal Magistrate Judge in the Eastern District of Virginia, Theresa Buchanan. It states that there is “reasonable ground to believe that the records or other information sought are relevant and material to an ongoing criminal investigation.” It was issued on December 14 and ordered sealed — i.e., kept secret from the targets of the Order. On January 5, the same judge ordered the subpoena unsealed at Twitter’s request in order to inform the users of the Subpoena and give them 10 days to object; had Twitter not so requested, it could have turned over this information without the knowledge of its users. A copy of the unsealing order is here.
I didn’t like the NIGHTLINE story one bit about the rash of bird and fish deaths.
The previews of the show made it look like they were going to take the strange activities seriously. Instead what we got was a mocking story about how conspiracy nuts are blaming HAARP and nothing bad really is happening.
Ok, fair enough. There may be scientific evidence that backs up the notion that nothing bad is happening. And for God’s sake, I am having a child this year, so a bad thing happening is the last thing I want to have happen!
But I also think some rather strange things are occurring. Arguably, thousands of birds dying around the globe at one time, along with potentially … millions? *how many fish in a ton?* fish dead around earth, are things that people should think a little deeper about than just ignoring with a dismissive tone..
NIGHTLINE’s story may as well have not been aired. Instead of making fun of people who think the end of the world is coming, maybe it would have been more beneficial to ask questions over what we are 1) doing to our environment, 2) what the Gulf oil spill did to the Gulfstream, and 3) what pollution could potentially be doing to harm the earth.
But I guess serious stuff isn’t funny. After all NIGHTLINE is competing with Leno and Letterman..
