TUCSON (KVOA) - President-elect Joe Biden shared his sentiments about one of Tucson's darkest days on Friday in correspondence to the 10-year anniversary of the mass shooting.
On Jan. 8, 2011, former U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords was among the 13 wounded during a mass shooting at the congresswoman’s “Congress on Your Corner” event at a Casas Adobes Safeway. That day also claimed the lives of six people – Christina-Taylor Green, Dorothy “Dot” Morris, John Roll, Phyllis Schneck, Dorwan Stoddard and Gabriel “Gabe” Zimmerman.
After the tragic day, then President Barack Obama visited the Old Pueblo to lead a memorial service at the University of Arizona on Jan. 12, 2011.
