Police in the US have released audio tapes, in which a law enforcement radio traffic dispatcher urgently relays first word of the attack on US Representative Gabrielle Giffords. The shooting happened as Giffords, a three-term Democrat who represents southern Arizona, was holding a community outreach event. A gunman shot her in the head and worked his way down the line of people waiting to talk with her, law enforcement officials said. The attack ended when bystanders tackled the man, Jared Lee Loughner, 22, who is in custody. Doctors said Giffords continued making strong progress toward recovery. She is moving both legs and both arms, has opened both eyes and is responding to friends and family. RT on Facebook: www.facebook.com RT on Twitter: twitter.com
