| Death threat at ABC-TV Town Hall event Saturday |
| 2011-01-15 |
| The meeting room at St. Odilia's Catholic Church on the city's northwest side was packed with local dignitaries, witnesses to the mass shooting Jan. 8, some of the witnesses to the shootings and the first responders to the scene for a taping of an ABC-TV special, a town hall event, at 11 a.m. Saturday. Host of the program, This Week, is Christianne Amanpour. The show will air at 7 a.m. Sunday on KGUN9-TV. Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was shot in the head at close range last Saturday by a lone gunman. She survived. A total of six people were killed. Nineteen were shot. Jared Loughner, 22, a former Pima Community College student, is the sole suspect in the shootings. He is in FBI custody. Toward the end of the town hall meeting Saturday morning, one of the shooting victims, J. Eric Fuller, took exception to comments by two of the speakers: Ariz. state Rep. Terri Proud, a Dist. 26 Republican, and Tucson Tea Party spokesman Trent Humphries. According to sheriff's deputies at the scene, Fuller took a photo of Humphries and said, "You're Dead." Deputies immediately escorted Fuller from the room. |

| #1 Thanks to NYT's and the others that generated the "blood libel" an apparently unstable man who got shot by another unstable man is in a rage. He apparently now blames anyone with a conservative view. |
