<p>Crowds have cheered Arizona congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords as she left a Tucson hospital where she stunned doctors with her recovery two weeks after being shot in the head in an assassination bid.</p>
<p>The 40-year-old Democrat was moved in an ambulance to a plane bound for Houston, Texas, for rehabilitation.</p>
<p>A doctor with her said Ms Giffords heard them, smiled, and tears welled up in her eyes.</p>
<p>Children sat on their parents&#8217; shoulders as the motorcade passed. Many waved and others carried signs wishing Ms Giffords, known as Gabby, well.</p>
<p>&#8220;It was very emotional and very special,&#8221; said Dr Randall Friese.</p>
<p>A gunman shot the congresswoman and 18 other people on January 8 as she met constituents outside a supermarket in Tucson. Six people died in the rampage, including Arizona&#8217;s top judge John Roll.</p>
<p>The suspected gunman, Jared Loughner, 22, is being held in federal custody. His motive is not known.</p>
<p>After her 930-mile trip, Ms Giffords was in an intensive care unit at Texas Medical Centre, where a new team of doctors planned to start her therapy immediately.</p>
<p>After several days of evaluation, she will be sent to the centre&#8217;s rehabilitation hospital, TIRR Memorial Hermann.</p>
<p>Ms Giffords had &#8220;great rehabilitation potential&#8221; said Dr Gerardo Francisco, chief medical officer of Memorial Hermann. &#8220;She will keep us busy, and we will keep her busy as well,&#8221; he said.</p>
