( CNN ) -- Eight months after being shot in the head outside an Arizona supermarket , Rep. Gabrielle Giffords is considering doing her first post-tragedy TV news interview this fall on ABC , her spokesman said Monday . The program is scheduled to air November 14 , the network said in a news release . That will be a day before the anticipated release of the couple 's joint memoir , co-written by Wall Street Journal columnist Jeffrey Zaslow and titled `` Gabby : A Story of Courage and Hope . '' Giffords ' spokesman , Mark Kimble , said Monday that the Arizona Democrat `` has not yet decided whether she will participate in an on-camera interview . '' `` She will make that decision based on her progress , '' Kimble said . Her husband , Mark Kelly , `` will do an on-camera interview with Diane Sawyer , '' the spokesman added . ABC , in announcing the special program , said Giffords and Kelly `` will share their remarkable story for the first time since the tragic shootings . '' Giffords was among 13 people wounded , in addition to six killed , in a shooting rampage on January 8 in a Safeway parking lot in her hometown , Tucson , Arizona . The congresswoman was gravely wounded that day , but made what doctors have called a miraculous recovery after intense rehabilitation in Tucson and Houston , Texas . In early August , Giffords received a standing ovation when she returned to the House floor for a critical vote on raising the nation 's the debt ceiling . But except for a few statements from her office , she has remained out of the spotlight and has not spoken to the media since the shooting . Meanwhile , the man accused of trying to kill her , Jared Lee Loughner , is in custody and undergoing mental health treatment . Authorities will determine whether he is competent to stand trial . Giffords ' husband , Kelly , was a combat pilot before joining NASA and becoming an astronaut . He commanded the final flight of the Space Shuttle Endeavour this spring , then announced his retirement from the space program and the U.S. Navy in part so he could spend more time with his wife .
