My prayers go out to all the victims of this atrocity, and to their loved ones. May those who can heal, be well and soon; and for those who will never heal, may they and their families find consolation and peace.
Updated reports, as Stormrider points out below, have ruled that the second man at the scene was the Taxi Driver who unknowingly brought Loughner to the scene. Local comment here is now centered on the ready availability of handguns in AZ, and the inadequacy of local, mental health intervention. The authorities are still sifting the suspect's computer and home for lines of possible influence, but so far, it is now only reported that he was a deranged individual and acted alone.
The debate in AZ is still highly concerned with the polarized political conditions here, but it seems many, regardless of their stances, are now willing to reconsider some of the "vitriolic" rhetoric that has characterized the public forum. Maybe this is indicative of some good that might come from calmer discussions?
Thank You all for bearing with me, still in shock.
