Gabby Giffords Doesn't Rule Out Another Run for Office
Skydives on anniversary of Arizona shooting
Former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords — still recovering from a shooting three years ago — said Thursday she might consider a return to political office.
The Arizona Democrat kept the door open when asked about such a possibility, saying "well, a little later" and "maybe" during an interview on NBC's "Today" show.
The interview was aired a day after bell-ringing and flag-raising ceremonies were held in Tucson to remember the six people killed and 13 injured in the Jan. 8, 2011, shooting that occurred as Giffords met with constituents outside a grocery store.
To commemorate the anniversary and how far she has come, Giffords jumped from an airplane in Arizona in a tandem skydive.
