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.

Bill Badger, a retired Army National Guard colonel, was grazed
by a bullet on the back of his head yet he was one of the men who
tackled Jared Lee Loughner and prevented him from reloading his
gun. "I'm a little more jumpy than I was before," he said. "If I
hear, you know, a door slam or something, or a loud noise, why -
you jump."

on his hip, and that disturbed me tremendously."

Jim Tucker, pictured with Giffords and his wife, Doris, moments before the shooting, was shot in the calf and the the right collarbone. The bullet that hit his collarbone split apart and lodged in various parts of his back. One fragment cracked a vertebra. The photo shows government working the way it's supposed to work, he said. "She was doing the thing she does best. She listens to constituents." Doris wasn't injured in the attack.
