The city of Tucson, in the southwest U.S. state of Arizona, is still reeling from the shooting Saturday that took the lives of six people, including a federal judge, and left several others badly wounded, including U.S. Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, who is being treated for a head wound at a local hospital. As VOA's Greg Flakus reports from Tucson, some have used the incident to engage in politics, but most people are taking it as a time for reflection and mutual support.
