TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) -The meeting room at St. Odilia's Catholic Church on the city's northwest side was packed with local dignitaries, witnesses to the mass shooting Jan. 8, some of the witnesses to the shootings and the first responders to the scene for a taping of an ABC-TV special, a town hall event, at 11 a.m. Saturday. Host of the program, This Week, is Christianne Amanpour. The show will air at 7 a.m. Sunday on KGUN9-TV.

Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was shot in the head at close range last Saturday by a lone gunman. She survived. A total of six people were killed. Nineteen were shot.

Jared Loughner, 22, a former Pima Community College student, is the sole suspect in the shootings. He is in FBI custody.

Toward the end of the town hall meeting Saturday morning, one of the shooting victims, J. Eric Fuller, took exception to comments by two of the speakers: Ariz. state Rep. Terri Proud, a Dist. 26 Republican, and Tucson Tea Party spokesman Trent Humphries.

According to sheriff's deputies at the scene, Fuller took a photo of Humphries and said, "You're Dead."

Deputies immediately escorted Fuller from the room.

Pima County Sheriff's spokesman Jason Ogan said later Saturday that Fuller has been charged with threats and intimidation and he also will be charged with disorderly conduct.

Among the dignitaries at the town hall taping were Mayor Bob Walkup, U.S. Rep. Raul Grijalva and former Congressman Jim Kolbe.

ABC News dubbed the town hall, "After the Tragedy:  An American Conversation Continued."

A press released stated that the event will restart the conversation that Giffords began.  "Among those who will join the Town Hall: family members of victims, citizens who took heroic action and community leaders," the press release stated.

A KGUN9 News crew was at the town hall. KGUN9 will air a report on KGUN9 News Saturday at 5 p.m. and 10 p.m.

Saturday's  10 p.m. newscast will be a one hour 9 On Your Side special report entitled, "One Week Later."

 That was not  just the only thing edited. So was his rant on Democracy Now, the day before this rant.

Yep Twyacht,

it doesn't go with the narative they have crafted for the event.

I'm waiting for the singing of Kumbaya at the State of the Union address.

Once every so often Ground Hog Day and the State of the Union fall on the same day.  Rather ironic.  One is a made up event, where the country looks to a creature of little intelligence to make wildly inaccurate prognostications.

The other involves a ground hog.

On Huckabee's radio program this morning he mentioned that this gentleman has been the subject of an "involuntary committal for mental health evaluation" in the aftermath of his comments.  Pity that wasn't done a couple of weeks ago, for the psycho who fired the shots in Tucson.
