More than 75 people showed up Friday to meet with Rep. Shelley Berkley.
Some wanted to discuss typical constituent issues: Social Security, health care, unemployment. But many gathered at Berkley's Las Vegas district office to show support for the congresswoman and her friend, Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.
Giffords was shot in the head last weekend when a gunman opened fire at a “Congress on Your Corner” event she was hosting in Tucson. Six people died and 14 were injured.
Berkley announced Monday that she planned her own "Congress on Your Corner" to honor Giffords. She was one of the first members of Congress to do so, although several have since followed.
