Gabrielle Giffords Shot

Gabrielle Giffords Shot, There was initially some question over whether Diane Sawyer’s interview with Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, the first since the U.S. Representative was shot on Jan. 8, would be documented on video.
ABC News puts that to rest with the first promo, which features Giffords and astronaut husband Mark Kelly sitting down with Sawyer for the Nov. 14 special.

The spot is dominated by narration, but Giffords appears to speak during the meeting, which was filmed at her and Kelly’s home outside of Houston, Texas, in October. It marks her first comments to the media since a bullet wound to the brain compromised her speaking abilities.

When the interview was first announced in September, a Giffords spokesperson said she was still undecided about being on-camera, noting the decision would come later, based on her progress. Even now, her chief of staff tells The Arizona Republic “it was not a full-length” interview.
