TUCSON – Former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords appeared at the Tucson Safeway where she was shot by a gunman two years ago.

She appeared with her husband and some of the survivors of that mass shooting that left 6 dead and 13 injured.  They were here to pressure Senators John McCain and Jeff Flake to support their call for universal background checks.  Mark Kelly, her husband:

MARK KELLY:  “In the last 2 months, Gabby is back. [Applause]  She is back and she is committed to doing whatever it takes.”

The public appearance came just one day before the Senate Judiciary Committee, which Flake is a part of, considers legislation that requires background checks.
