Shooting survivor and former congresswoman Gabby Giffords believes “a better world is possible,” she told supporters at a fundraising event Wednesday.
The former Arizona congresswoman spoke to Chicagoans about her assassination attempt and gun violence in its many forms. In January 2011, a gunman opened fire at a constituents meeting near Tucson, Arizona, held by Giffords, killing six people and wounded 13, including Giffords. Giffords’ skull was fractured, prompting a months-long recovery process where she had to relearn how to walk and talk.
