Alleged Giffords Shooter Jared Lee Loughner Held By Federal Judge | Talking Points Memo

Jared Lee Loughner, the alleged gunman behind the mass shooting on Saturday that killed six people (including a federal judge) and gravely injured Rep.

Public defender Judy Clarke, who previously represented the “Unabomber,” patted him on the back.
