Gabrielle Giffords was at the center of what President Obama has described as an "unspeakable tragedy" this morning.
The Arizona Congresswoman was one of 18 people shot - 12 of whom are injured, six reportedly killed - during a shooting in Tuscon. The public event was a meeting of constituents that took place outside a Safeway grocery store.
She underwent surgery this afternoon for a wound to the head, with Dr. Peter Rhee of the University Medical Center saying he's "very optimistic about her recovery."
The suspected culprit has been identified as a 22-year old named Jared Lee Loughner.
On her Facebook page, Sarah Palin offered "sincere condolences" to Giffords' family and others involved in the shooting. Why is this relevant?
In March 2010, - after Tweeting at "Commonsense Conservatives & lovers of America [to] RELOAD!" - Palin used gun sights on a map to target Democrats engaged in tough re-election battles.
Gabrielle Giffords was one of those politicians.
