Astronaut Scott Kelly was 200 miles above the earth when he heard the news of the shooting in Tucson, Arizona on the morning of January 8.
The news hit particularly close to home because Scott's twin brother, Mark, is the husband of Representative Gabrielle Gifford who was shot in the head during the attack. Kelly has been aboard the International Space Station since October but he is able to speak to his brother, Mark Kelly, 5 or 6 times a day since that day.
Scott Kelly joins American Morning from the International Space Station and gives the latest update on Giffords' condition.
