Eight years ago, a man opened fire at a "Congress On Your Corner" event outside a Tucson Safeway.
Six people were killed and 13 were injured, including former U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, who was shot in the head.
About 7 p.m. today, to honor the lives lost in the 2011 shooting, Congresswoman Ann Kirkpatrick will lead a moment of silence on the house floor at the U.S. Capitol.
She will stand with Giffords, in addition to members of the Arizona Delegation, a news release says.
Folks can watch a livestream from home. The moment of silence will begin about 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 8.
