AZ Rep. Giffords Steps Down to Recover from Shooting

Rep. Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona announced she intends to resign from Congress this week to concentrate on recovering from wounds suffered in an assassination attempt a little more than a year ago.

The Democratic congresswoman was shot in the head last January as she was meeting with constituents outside a supermarket in Tucson, Ariz. While her recovery has seemed remarkable, she says she has more work to do to recover, and it is best from her state if she resigns her seat in the House.
