Three years ago, six people were killed and a dozen were wounded during a constituent event in a Tucson supermarket parking lot. Among them was former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, who marked the third anniversary of the tragedy by going skydiving. “Today, I grieve, I remember, and I take another step. I’m stronger now,” she said on Twitter earlier in the day.
