Rep. Giffords’ husband an astronaut from West Orange

 

U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, the Arizona congresswoman shot on Sunday, is married to an astronaut from New Jersey.

Her husband, Mark E. Kelly, graduated from Mountain High School in West Orange in 1982, along with his identical twin brother, Scott J. Kelly.

Both brothers volunteered for the West Orange First Aid Squad. Their parents moved to Florida 23 years ago.

Both are NASA astronauts.
