[14] [15] A United States Representative from Arizona, Gabrielle Giffords, was holding a constituent meeting called "Congress on Your Corner" [9] [16] at the Safeway supermarket in La Toscana Village mall, which is in Casas Adobes, an unincorporated area north of Tucson , Arizona. [17] Giffords had set up a table outside the store and about 20 to 30 people were gathered around her when 22-year-old Jared Lee Loughner suddenly drew a pistol and shot Giffords in the head. [18] [19] The shooting was caught on video by a store security camera, but has not yet been released to the public. [15] [20] [1] [21] He reportedly used a 9×19mm Glock 19 semi-automatic pistol with a 33-round magazine . [22] [23] A nearby store employee said he heard "15 to 20 gunshots". [24] Loughner stopped to reload, but dropped the loaded magazine from his pocket to the sidewalk, from where bystander Patricia Maisch grabbed it. [25] Another bystander clubbed the back of the assailant's head with a folding chair, injuring his elbow in the process, representing the fourteenth injury. [26] Loughner was tackled to the ground by Bill Badger, a 74-year-old retired United States Army Colonel [27] who had also been shot himself. Loughner was further subdued by Maisch and bystanders Roger Sulzgeber and Joseph Zamudio. Zamudio, a concealed weapon (CCW) permit holder , had a weapon on his person, but arrived after the shooting had stopped and did not draw his firearm. [28] Thirty-one shell casings were found at the scene by investigators. [29] en.wikipedia.org
