She was reported dead erroneously - msnbc TV is reporting that a SWAT team surgeon is currently operating on her. As of this minute, she is still alive, thank God. She has children.

One of the local Tucson news channel's is reporting from University hospital that she is dead, conflicting with the national broadcast's report that she is in surgery. They are using different sources. News conference scheduled for 1:30 pm.

Will Arizona hold another vote to elect a replacement for her in the house in case of her passing, or will another democrat be appointed to replace her?
