Giffords Presser. Now Hospital Presser. Doctor Optimistic About Giffords Prognoses. Child Killed. Shooter's Youtube Page?

From Gabe: 2nd suspect arrested?

Update: Hospital presser

10 taken to hospital, 1 dead, 5 in critical condition, rest stable without threatening injuries.

Giffords survived, doctor optimistic about recovery. She's out of surgery.

Dead patient was young child "about 9 years old".

Original Post:
Sheriff office holding a press conference.

Jared Laughner is the name of the guy under arrest.

Say suspect is 22 years old. Weapon was "a pistol with an extended magazine".

Won't confirm that he said anything at time of shooting.

He says they had 'limited' contact with him in past.

Won't confirm it was a federal judge, just a "federal employee" other than Giffords that was "very seriously injured". Other outlets are reporting the judge was John Roll, who had been under protective watch a few years back after he ruled a suit by illegal immigrants against an AZ rancher could proceed.

MSNBC says Giffords is expected to survive.

If this is his Youtube page, he's an anarchist nutjob, not a conservative. Check out the vid he favorited. It's a flag burning.
