Jan 26 (THAINDIAN NEWS) In a miraculous story of strength, Congresswoman Gabrielle Gifford has been listed in good condition and moved to a rehabilitation center just three short weeks after being shot in the head by twenty two year old crazed gunman who injured eighteen and took the lives of six others in the tragedy.

The critical gunshot wounds was sustained by Giffords in the shooting, and she was rushed to a Houston hospital, where she has continued to stun the nation, as well as her doctors.
