You could just vote for her opponent, fer crissakes
Reuters has a flash: Representative Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona died after being shot in the head while meeting constituents at a grocery store in Tucson, NPR reported on Saturday. Giffords, a 40-year-old Democrat in her third term in Congress, was shot point blank by an unidentified gunman, who fired indiscriminately into the crowd, NPR and other U.S. media said. About a dozen others at the meeting were shot and the gunman was wrestled to the ground and taken into custody, Fox said, citing an eyewitness. Giffords was airlifted to a hospital to a hospital after the shooting. Re-elected in the 2 November election, Giffords focused on immigration reform, military issues, stem cell research, and alternative energy while serving in Congress. She was married to U.S. astronaut Mark Kelly.
