Pam Simon was working at the "Congress On Your Corner" event, when Jared Loughner opened fire into the crowd, hitting her in the chest. Pam's first person account remembers how quick the shooting happened and recalls getting shot in the chest and feeling the bullet travel down to her hip. Pam speaks out and calls for action against gun violence in America. On January 8, 2011, U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords and eighteen others were shot during a constituent meeting held in a supermarket parking lot in Casas Adobes, Arizona, in the Tucson metropolitan area. Six people died, including federal District Court Chief Judge John Roll; Gabe Zimmerman, one of Rep. Giffords' staffers; and a nine-year-old girl, Christina-Taylor Green.
