Wounded Giffords Makes First Public Appearance

The critically wounded wife of NASA astronaut Mark Kelly made her first public appearance Monday since the Jan. 8 shooting spree that left six dead and more than a dozen injured outside a Tucson grocery store.

U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., made the surprise appearance at a ceremony during which her husband was awarded a medal for commanding the final flight of shuttle Endeavour in May. The ceremony was held at Space Center Houston, a visitor complex near NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston.
