It was a town hall style event at a Safeway.
ETA: Her press secretary is saying she's in surgery, apparently. Hopefully that is true.

From a few months ago: Palin reloads, aims for Giffords [link]
With an endorsement record that now rivals those of many established Washington politicians, Sarah Palin has re-launched her "Take Back the 20" campaign. Its aim — pun intended — is to unseat Democratic incumbents who supported last year's health care reform package H.R. 3200, often referred to by Republicans as "Obamacare."
Earlier this year, Palin drew sharp criticism for featuring a map on her web page riddled with crosshairs targeting Democrats in vulnerable congressional districts.
Tucson's Gabrielle Giffords is among the 20 Democratic incumbents whom Palin intends to use for target practice.

target map. Mayhaps shooting jokes not the best way to make a point? Or far too effective?

You can't demonize your opponents for years without this kind of thing happening.
That's just what I was thinking. Once enough people believe that normal political discourse is treason and that the other side is going to turn the country into a police state and kill their grandparents, the road to protest by violent means is pretty short.

And a grocery store on a Saturday - you couldn't pick a busier place.
I agree - you have to be careful about the images you use - of course, assuming that Palin only meant the sites metaphorically.

That assumes that Palin knows what metaphorically means.

Palin's not the only one. Wasn't it Sharon Angle talking about the "Second Amendment solution"?

A witness says that the Congresswoman was shot in the head pointblank.
This was on CNN. CNN also says that the congresswoman and a number of the wounded are in surgery.
How can we expect our representatives to maintain public contact when this sort of horror happens?
Obama says that some have passed away and that Congresswoman Giffords has been grievously wounded.
