Giffords bids farewell to constituents
- 12 years ago
U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords bid farewell to her constituents on Monday.
She will step down from office this week to focus on recovering from an assasination attempt last year.
Giffords toured a center for family assistance, named in her honor after the tragedy.
Among those gathered for her farewell were a number of people present on the day she was shot.
Giffords was at close range when a gunman opened fire at her and bystanders who were gathered for a meet-and-greet.
The injury on her head has left her with faltering speech and restricted movement.
