NASA ADMINISTRATOR CHARLES BOLDEN'S STATEMENT ON THE SHOOTING OF CONGRESSWOMAN GIFFORDS

NASA Administrator Charles Bolden issued the following statement 
Saturday about the shooting in Tucson, Ariz., of U.S. Rep. Gabrielle 
Giffords and several others: 

"We at NASA are deeply shocked and saddened by the senseless shooting 
of Representative Giffords and others at Saturday's public event in 
Tucson. As a long-time supporter of NASA, Representative Giffords not 
only has made lasting contributions to our country, but is a strong 
advocate for the nation's space program and a member of the NASA 
family. She also is a personal friend with whom I have had the great 
honor of working. We at NASA mourn this tragedy and our thoughts and 
prayers go out to Congresswoman Giffords, her husband Mark Kelly, 
their family, and the families and friends of all who perished or 
were injured in this terrible tragedy."
