Rep. Giffords Upgraded to "Serious" Condition

Congresswoman Upgraded Because She's Breathing on Her Own; Two Other Patients Other Patients Upgraded to "Good"

(CBS/ AP) The University Medical Center in Tucson announced Sunday that Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was upgraded from critical condition to serious condition.

The reason for the upgrade is that Giffords has been taken off a ventilator and is now breathing on her own. Procedures done on Saturday we're "successful and uneventful." Two other patients were upgraded to good condition but UMC did not name them.

Giffords was shot in the head on Jan. 8, 2011, at an event outside a grocery store in Tucson.

Another shooting victim, James Eric Fuller, found himself in the news over the weekend. CBS News has confirmed that Fuller was charged with threatening and intimidation, and disorderly conduct. The 63-year-old Fuller was arrested Saturday and taken for a psychiatric exam.

Trent Humphries, co-founder of the Tucson Tea Party, is worried about the threats he is receiving, including the remark he says Fuller made to him at a televised town hall meeting. Humphries told The Associated Press on Sunday he was surprised when Fuller took a picture of him and said, "you're dead."

Fuller was shot in the knee and back in the Tucson shooting rampage that left six people dead and 14 wounded.
