U.S. Representative Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.) released the following statement condemning the attack on Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) and members of her staff today in Tucson, AZ:
"I am deeply saddened and troubled by the horrific attack on Representative Giffords, her staff, Federal District Court Judge John Roll, and the residents of Arizona's eighth district. Gabrielle Giffords is a beautiful person inside and out. I encourage all Americans to pray for those killed in the incident, for the recovery of Rep. Giffords and others who have been injured, and for our country. This deranged individual's senseless act is an attack on our free country."
