Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Obama says that some have passed away and that Congresswoman Giffords has been grievously wounded.
NY Times report said that the shooter went up behind her, where she stood behind a table greeting constituents. The report says the shooter aimed at her head from about a foot away and fired several rounds. I don't know how she's still in surgery, much less talking on the way in. A miracle.

Throughout the years, our primary responsibilities have remained the same. Our main focus still lies in protecting life and property; preventing, detecting, and investigating criminal acts; and enforcing traffic regulations throughout a large complex of congressional buildings, parks, and thoroughfares. Additionally, we are responsible for protecting Members of Congress, Officers of the United States Senate, United States House of Representatives, and their families. We serve these individuals throughout the entire United States, its territories and possessions, and throughout the District of Columbia.
