Nancy Pelosi planned on coming to the Detroit Auto Show, but changed her plans after tragedy struck in Arizona, killing six, and injuring several others, including Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords.
The nation observed a moment of silence with hopes and prayers for the victims.
NBC25 spoke with a local congressman who says there is no safety for most elected officials.
While the public outpours sympathy and support to the six people who died and 13 people hurt during a shooting spree in Tuscon, Arizona, one of them, Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords clings to life after getting shot in the brain during a public appearance.
Congressman Dave Camp from Midland says the tragedy heightens awareness.
"Over the next couple weeks, we'll hear from the Sergeant At Arms and the Capitol Police in terms of any recommendations they suggest, but after then, I don't see any change in what I do personally."
Camp says only the top five officials of the united states government have personal security. He says he has never felt unsafe in public.
Camp said he does not believe the actions of the shooter were politically motivated.
"I don't see a real ideological connection here, frankly," Camp said. "It's early and we'll know more. I think it's the action of a deranged individual."
The individual police believe is responsible is 22-year-old Jared Loughner, who faced a judge Monday on five counts of murder and several attempts to kill others including Giffords.
Michigan Governor Rick Snyder called Arizona's governor to offer support and prayers.
Snyder says he'll follow President Barack Obama's request to fly flags at half staff through Friday.
Snyder said he feels secure with his level of protection.
