Hello from a sad Tucson:

At the moment, we know nothing more than those of you who have already
emailed. Nancy and I live only a few miles from the shooting site and we
seem to have been on our way to shop (not there) at the time of the
shooting. One of our neighbors just sent out an email saying that she was
in the grocery store at the time of the shooting, but, again, no
additional information.

The store is a place we occasionally shop and a lot of our friends and
neighbors shop there. Of the meteorite people I know who live in the area
(Geoff Notkin and Twink Monrad), it is probably not a place that they
would normally go.

I have met Gabby on a number of occasions and I know some of her staff
(one of her staff was killed in the shooting). A friend of the CPA at the
Planetary Science Institute (where I work part time) says that she knows
the shooter well and that he has a history of conduct issues at Pima
Community College where she works. Tucson is a big town yet small in many
ways.

If I hear anything else, I will let the list know, but right now, everyone
seems to be getting about the same information.
