MSNBC: sheriff who emphatically stated that she was in extremely critical condition. MSNBC is retracting the report of her death.

Exact verbiage in a YaHoo comments thread reporting this story.

Fox News reporting that sources are saying that a second person has been arrested. Unclear on involvement.

A spokesperson at the hospital (appeared to be a surgeon?) reported the congresswoman was out of surgery and that he was very optimistic about her chances.
