A Tucsonan who became a gun-control advocate after surviving the Jan. 8, 2011, mass shooting was arrested while protesting inside the Capitol Rotunda in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday.
Patricia Maisch, who is credited with helping to stop Jared Lee Loughner from reloading after he had killed six and wounded 13 others in the Tucson mass shooting, was taking part in a sit-in when she was arrested by Capitol police.
Maisch was part of a small group of protesters who were chanting βNo bill, no break!,β the same slogan used by House Democrats late last month when they staged a sit-in to demand a vote on new gun control measures. A total of six protesters were arrested.
