At least four people are confirmed dead at the scene.

Initial reports that the Congresswoman was sot in the head and was among the fatalities were corrected by her press people, who told CBS Affiliate KOLD that she is in surgery. "She is currently in surgery. She is still alive," said Darcy Slaten, Public Affairs, University Medical Center in Tucson.
Eight others are being treated at the hospital as well.

The assailant reportedly sprayed bullets into an area where the Democratic lawmaker was hosting a "Congress on Your Corner" event at a Safeway supermarket.

A law enforcement source told CBS News producer Pat Milton that a man apparently stood up in the crowd during the town hall meeting, shouted something and then opened fire. Someone - possibly police or security - then shot at the gunman.

The gunman has been apprehended but it is unknown if he were wounded.
