"Jared Lee Loughner, the man who shot Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.), was described by eyewitnesses as a young white man who looked like a "fringe character."
Loughner shot Giffords and 12 others at a public event at a Safeway grocery store in Tucscon. He reportedly shot the congresswoman "point blank" in the head and may have come from inside the store. After shooting Giffords, he allegedly fired 20-30 rounds and hit "a number of people," including a child. He attempted to flee after running out of ammunition and was tackled by one of Giffords' staffers.
Eyewitnesses have described Laughner as "young, mid-to-late 20s, white, clean-shaven with short hair and wearing dark clothing."
He was arrested upon arrival of the sheriff's department."
"The judge who was killed at today's shooting has been identified as Cheif Federal Judge John Roll."

This is a sad day for Tucson, Representative Giffords has survived surgery, who knows what kind of recovery she can make?
The shooter seems to be a wacko with no particular political motive other than being a damn nut job who thought the Gov't is brainwashing people through grammar and other crazy things.
Giffords isn't in my district and not someone I would vote for, but she is a likable, attractive lady known for spending a lot of time talking with the folks and some psycho bastage took advantage of her accessibility.
Many families were destroyed today.
The whole thing just sucks.
-
Pointless and reprehensible attack. I hope she makes a full recovery. Sadly, six will not.
Further, the use of this incident for political gain has not been forgotten by some. Shame on them.
-
A sad day for Tucson.
A sad day for Arizona.
A sad day for all of America.
I think its safe to say that our hearts and prayers go out to all the victims.

6 dead so far.
The stupid folks will protect him by saying he can't stand trial.

I'd like to put a bullet in both his kneecaps and watch him bleed.

This piece of fecal matter seems to be psychotically rather than politically motivated.

They need to make an example out of him. Skin him alive in a public execution.

Well said.

I am not talking about him, I am talking about those that use the tragedy for political gain. That has no place at a time like this.
-
Lets not talk about killing the guy after what he did. His time will come, if not now, it will be his maker. Event like this is a time we put our difference aside and pray that Gabrielle will make it along with the others that where shot. And morn for those that lost their lives.

Another nut job, does Arizona have the death penalty?
News was saying that the judge had recieved numerous death threats well before any of this happened... :headscratch:

I agree, and the fact that this guys rambling nutty youtube videos and such show no identifiable political persuasion, makes me even angrier that there are those trying to connect him to political beliefs they don't like.

All info seems to indicate that the judge was not the target but just happened to be there to support Giffords.
Arizona does indeed have the death penalty.

It was a girl. :pray
Yes and I just heard this morning that she is the 9 year old Grand daughter of Dallas Green who was the Phillies skipper back in the early 80's. It hits a little closer because his wife was a history teacher of mine in high school.

Say a story about the girl on AOL.

Seems like that tragedy followed that poor girl around.

I am in Giffords district and didn't agree with her choices about how she voted. I had hoped that she would be unsuccessful in her re election bid but never had a thought that she should be hurt in office. She was open and liked to talk to folks, that's what made her vulnerable to this head case yesterday. She does have good qualities and gained respect for them, even from me.
Arizona has the death penalty but I doubt this clown will be subject to it. He's a nut job and I'm sure will be found incompetent to stand trial. Personally I think he ought to be put down like any other diseased dangerous to others animal. Not so much as punishment, just as a way to keep others safe from him.

I have to ask how did this obviously deranged individual get the gun?
and I also wonder if he had a gun license...
-

He had no criminal background or convictions, why not.
Now he was determined by the Military to be unfit, but they did not elaborate.
Every human being has the capability to do such a thing out of anger, revenge, or just stupidity, most do not act on it, why is it only then we consider a person deranged.
The military could have or should have shared that information with law enforcement which in turn would probably brought attention to him sooner, who knows.
