Video Captured ‘Calculated’ Gunman in Tucson

Describing the video, Mr. Kastigar said the judge was “intentionally trying to help Mr. Barber,” adding, “It’s very clear to me the judge was thinking of his fellow human more than himself.”

The judge guides Mr. Barber to the ground, shields him with his body, and then tries to push himself and Mr. Barber away from the gunman, who was no more than three to four feet away as he fired, Mr. Kastigar said.

“He pushes Mr. Barber with his right hand and guides him with his left hand. The judge was on top of him and is covering up Mr. Barber, literally lying on top of him, and his back was exposed,” Mr. Kastigar said.

The judge was shot in the back.


Barber (who is an employee of Giffords) has been treated and left the hospital already.

It's a shame that with all of the Giffords' coverage that this story has not been widely circulated (it's been 11 days), and Barber (or someone) interviewed to tell what happened - I assume because the Judge is a Republican.

He may have voted Republican I don't know, and he was appointed by a Republican for sure, but other than than that I don't know if he was a Republican or not. I liked his stand in some of his case, sounds more like someone with liberal leanings. Federal Judges are appointed not elected so party affiliation is not placed behind the judges name like congressman etc.
