The second day of filming brought an emotional moment as a Tucson woman approached former U.S. Rep. Ron Barber with a bouquet of flowers (above) purchased in the grocery store in which he and 18 others were shot in 2011 The woman, who asked not to be named or filmed, expressed her gratitude to Barber, who was elected to Congress to fill a seat vacated by former U.S. Rep. Gabby Giffords as she recovered from her wounds, for his service to the country.

The visit to the store by Barber was only the second time he had returned since the shooting.  Earlier this year, he returned to see a memorial to honor those shot and killed in the tragedy.  During the filming, he talked about why the country needed practical restraints on America’s gun culture and how the 2018 elections were energizing Democrats around the country.

Also on Oct. 9, Bruce Hawker interviewed Paul Ingram, a senior reporter with the independent Tucson Sentinel.  Ingram, who covers border and immigration issues, outlined Arizona’s long history in dealing with border issues — and how things changed after 9/11.
