Gabrielle Giffords has made a stunning recovery since being shot in the head at a Tucson political event, learning to walk and talk again while founding a national organization aimed at pushing gun control measures, and marking the third anniversary of the attack Wednesday by skydiving.
Across the city, others gathered for bell-ringing and flag-raising ceremonies to remember the six killed and 13 injured, including Giffords, on Jan. 8, 2011, as the former Arizona congresswoman met with constituents outside a grocery store.
Giffords waved and blew kisses to a crowd at a skydiving site between Phoenix and Tucson after successfully landing without injury.
