These pictures tell the story quite well by themselves. They're from the Tucson hospital room where Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) is being treated for the severe head injuries she received during Saturday's shooting rampage, which left 6 people dead and at least 14 people (including Giffords) wounded (13 from gunshots).
Astronaut Mark Kelly, Giffords' husband, is with his wife. The photos were taken Sunday and released by Giffords' staff late Tuesday:
