Honoring the lives lost: 15 years since the Tucson shooting tragedy

TUCSON, AZ — It has now been 15 years since the deadly shooting that changed our state and our country forever.

Back on Jan. 8, 2011, a gunman opened fire at an event hosted by former Arizona Congresswoman Gabby Giffords in Tucson.

"I was in panic mode," explained Hailey, a 10-year-old student who came to the memorial to pay tribute to the victims. "I met her [Giffords] before. It was just last year, and now this happened. She's such a nice lady, really. Truly caring. She really wanted to get out and talk to the people."
