KBRP is working to keep you up-to-date about the series of events that took place on January 8th, 2011 in Tucson, AZ that involved an individual opening fire on U.S. House of Representatives member Gabrielle Giffords and 19 other people. At this time, we are only posting information of an official nature since so much inaccurate information has been posted in the media. Below, you will find updates from various sources including a press conference with Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik and Former Surgeon General Richard Carmona. Please check back here frequently for new audio postings and information regarding this situation.
Thanks to Chuck Alton, Steve Foss, Mark Hundley, and Andrew Nelson for helping pull all of this together. Thanks also goes to Amanda Shauger, who is the Producer of 30 Minutes at KXCI, for her stellar production and additional footage.
For radio stations who have asked for audio, please feel free to use this page as a resource. We hope it can be of use for community radio stations across the country.
