    Just in: Rep. Gabrielle Giffords is alive, & out of surgery

    TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - Officials at University Medical Center have confirmed that U.S. Rep Gabrielle Giffords is alive. She is out of surgery. Doctors are optimistic about her chances of recovery.

    The news is a dramatic reversal of previous reports circulated on some national news cable channels and local media claiming that Giffords and up to 6 others were dead.

    Doctors say she had suffered from a gunshot wound to the head but is responsive.

    All the victims were wounded in a mass shooting Saturday morning at the Safeway grocery store at Ina and Oracle in Tucson. One shooter is in custody.
