NPR: Congresswoman Giffords Assassinated (False report)

(UPDATE: Some news services are backing off reports that she has died. FOX News is still reporting her death on their website. CNN and MSNBC say they have conflicting reports on her condition.)

NPR is reporting that Congresswoman Giffords has died after being shot in the head at a meeting with constituents in Arizona. Media reports suggest a dozen or more people were also shot. A suspect is reported to be in custody.

Update: Multiple reports suggest at least six other fatalities in what is being described as a mass shooting.
