The Gabriel Zimmerman Meeting Room in the U.S. Capitol Visitor Center was dedicated in honor of Gabriel “Gabe” Zimmerman, the legislative aide killed at the January 8, 2011, shooting in Tucson, Arizona, that left then Representative Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) severely injured. Mark Kelly, who spoke for his wife, remarked that Mr. Zimmerman, her community outreach director, ran toward the victims when the gunman opened fire. He was the only legislative staff member ever killed in the line of duty and Speaker Boehner pointed out that the meeting room named in his honor was the first room in the Capitol complex to be dedicated to a staff member. close
