<p>US congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was shot in the head and a number of other people were injured when an assailant opened fire as the Democrat was meeting constituents in Arizona, congressional officials said.</p>
<p>The officials said one of the victims died soon after the attack and others were taken to a nearby hospital. A hospital spokeswoman said Ms Giffords was alive and in a critical condition after the shooting.</p>
<p>The officials said the wounded included some of Ms Giffords&#8217;s aides who were with her at the time.</p>
<p>One official added the attack was carried out with an automatic weapon.</p>
<p>The FBI and local law enforcement officials are investigating the attack, which took place while Ms Giffords was greeting constituents outside a shop in Tucson.</p>
<p>Ms Giffords, 40, was re-elected to her third term last November. She was a member of the Arizona House and Senate before coming to Washington.</p>
<p>She first won election to Congress amid a wave of Democratic victories in 2006. In November, she edged a tea party favourite.</p>
