Congresswoman Betty McCollum (MN-04) issued the following statement in response to the shooting of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ).
"The shooting today in Tucson of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, at least one member of her staff, and a number of citizens is a monstrous act of violence that is senseless and tragic. I am praying for Congresswoman Giffords, her staff members, all the victims of this attack, and their families."
