On the fifth anniversary of the 2011 shooting in Tucson, Ariz., Rep. Martha McSally led a moment of silence in the House, commemorating the six people killed and 13 wounded. Former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was among those injured. “While we know some wounds may never fully heal, by carrying on the legacy of those who have died we ensure their memories are never forgotten,” McSally said.
