In the early hours of a Sunday morning, when a city's nightlife burns brightest and its guard is lowest, gunfire broke out along Tucson's East Congress Street, wounding nine people in a crowded entertainment district before police intervened and stopped the shooter. All ten people hospitalized that night — victims and suspect alike — survived, a mercy that speaks as much to the swift action of officers already on patrol as to fortune. The incident has reopened, once again, the enduring American conversation about the relationship between law, access to weapons, and the safety of public life.
