Obama: Giffords Shooting ‘Wasn’t the First Time I’d Had to Talk to the Nation’ About a Shooting

‘Five years ago this week, a sitting member of Congress and 18 others were shot at at a supermarket in Tucson, Arizona’

"Mark, I want to thank you for your introduction.  I still remember the first time we met, the time we spent together, and the conversation we had about Daniel.  And that changed me that day. And my hope, earnestly, has been that it would change the country. 

Five years ago this week, a sitting member of Congress and 18 others were shot at, at a supermarket in Tucson, Arizona.  It wasn’t the first time I had to talk to the nation in response to a mass shooting, nor would it be the last.  Fort Hood.  Binghamton.  Aurora.  Oak Creek.  Newtown.  The Navy Yard.  Santa Barbara.  Charleston.  San Bernardino.  Too many."
