Shot 3 times, air evac'd, doesn't sound good . . .
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

There are rumors on the internet already that the shooter was shouting something which I won't repeat here as it hasn't been confirmed.

But, no. Not really.

She was on the Remain campaign but I hope that was nothing to do with it

As long as she's not gone, there's always hope. That American rep made it too after being shot in the head by some nutter in front of a mall.
