...... Ron Barber, a Giffords staffer who was injured in the shooting, won the special election to serve the remainder of Giffords’s term.

Barber said in a statement that his “thoughts and prayers” go out to the entire Aurora community.

“The people of Aurora have suffered an immense loss,” he said. “We are tested in times like these and we must come together to support one another in the wake of tragedy. I know that Aurora and its residents will take solace in one another in the coming days and weeks.”

“All of Southern Arizona, and the nation, stands with you today,” the congressman said.
