I am wondering if the shooter was apprended.

Yes, the shooter was apprehended by a bystander at the scene.

Giffords won her seat in a close race with a TEA party candidate last year. She was supposedly a pro-gun congressmember, but not highly regarded by the NRA. Likewise, she was stated as a pro border control member, but not at all highly regarded within hard liner groups because she voted against the border fence, and was not overly sympathetic after the killing of Roger Krantz near his ranch
