Dozens including Gabby were shot, and many were killed, but a year after painful rehab, medical miracles and healing, the Arizona congresswoman and other survivors are gathering today to reflect and move forward.
The NY Daily News Reports:
Churches and homes throughout the southern Arizona city will ring bells at 10:11 a.m. MST, the exact time the gunman shot Giffords and methodically moved down a line of people waiting to talk to her during a congressional meet-and-greet on Jan. 8, 2011.
Six people were killed, including a 9-year-old girl born on 9/11 and a federal judge. Thirteen others were shot, including Giffords.
Gabby has been rehabbing in Houston with the assistance and love of her husband, former astronaut Mark Kelly and has four more months to decide if she will seek re-election for congress.
