Ron Barber was standing near U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords when a gunman shot her in the head at January's meet-and-greet event in Tucson.
Six months after he suffered gunshot wounds to his cheek and left thigh, Barber, the congresswoman's district director, returned to work at Giffords' Tucson office Tuesday and was greeted by signs, applause and hugs.
"The only thing that would be better than this day for me is for the day the congresswoman walks through the door," Barber, 65, told CNN affiliate KVOA.
FULL STORY
This is a little something for a fellow blogger that was brutally attacked 2 days ago. Her name was SandyK, I know little about her but her husband who announced her passing on "Around Ameirica" blog let us all know that the world lost a little light. Dont know if he'll read this but Mr. K thanks for the beautiful way you discribed your wife. I was trying to find something that she posted which would give you a little flavor of what she was like, but couldn't so just go to that blog and his words would do more justice to who she was than anything else.
Night SandyK
Did she die? Im a follower. Saw the blog and was wondering .
Can't wait to hear Giffords speak again. God bless!
Anyone else ever notice this galaxy we live in is like a swirling toilet going down the drain? The drain being the black hole at the center.
I wish you a speedy recovery and I hope the person who perpetrated this act comes to realize that what he has done is abhorrent in the eyes of the America people. Keep up the fight and keep your faith in the American people – we are with you. – Jonathan Witerski
I'm so happy Casey was found not guilty. I always knew this, now its time to go after George Anthony, the real murderer.
Why did somebody shoot at Frank GIfford ? Was it Kathy Lee ? I bet it was over doodoo. The doodie issue is a big thing. Sometimes it is just snelly.
snelly? what is a snelly? no wonder us people from India are taking all your jobs.
