Gabri- elle Giffords, D-Ariz., and others who were shot on Saturday during Giffords's speech at a local supermarket. Gunman charged for attempted assasination of congresswoman County sheriff says Jared Loughner acted alone in shooting TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - Fed- eral prosecutors brought charges yesterday against the gunman accused of attempting to assassi- nate Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and killing six people at a political event in Arizona. Investigators said they carried out a search warrant at Jared Loughner's home and seized an envelope from a safe with mes- sages such as "I planned ahead," "My assassination" and the name "Giffords" next to what appears to be the man's signa- ture. He allegedly purchased the Glock pistol used in the attack in November at Sportsman's Ware- house in Tucson. Court documents also show that Loughner had contact with Giffords in the past. Other evi- dence included a letter addressed to him from Giffords' congres- sional stationery in which she thanked him for attending a "Congress on your Corner" event at a mall in Tucson in 2007. Heather Williams, the first assistant federal public defender in Arizona, says the 22-year-old suspect doesn't yet have a law- yer, but that her office is working to get one appointed. Williams' office is asking for an outside attorney because one of those killed was U.S. District Judge John M. Roll. Pima County Sheriff Clarence- Dupnik said Sunday that Lough- ner acted alone. Meanwhile, authorities released 911 calls in which a per- son witnessing the mass shooting outside a grocery store in Tucson describes a frantic scene and says, "I do believe Gabby Giffords was hit." Loughner fired at Giffords' district director and shot indis- criminately at staffers and others standing in line to talk to the con- gresswoman, said Mark Kimble, a communications staffer for Gif- fords. "He was not more than three or four feet from the congresswoman and the district director," Kimble said, describing the scene as "just complete chaos, people screaming, crying." Loughner is accused of kill- ing six people, including an aide to Giffords and a 9-year-old girl who was born on Sept. 11, 2001. Fourteen others were wounded. Authorities don't know Loughner's motive, but said he targeted Gif- fords at a public gathering around 10 a.m. Saturday. Doctors treating the lawmaker provided an optimistic update about her chances for survival, saying they are "very, very encour- aged" by her ability to respond to simple commands along with their success in controlling her bleed- ing. Mourners crammed into the tiny sanctuary of Giffords' syna- gogue in Tucson to pray that she quickly recovered. Outside the hospital, candles flickered at a makeshift memorial. Signs read "Peace + love are stronger," "God bless America and "We love you, Gabrielle." People also laid down bouquets of flowers, American flags and pictures of Giffords. One of the victims was Christi- na Taylor Green, who was a mem- ber of the student council at her local school and went to the event because of her interest in govern- ment. She is the granddaughter of former Philadelphia Phillies man- ager Dallas Green. She was born on 9/11 and fea- tured in a book called "Faces of Hope" that chronicled one baby from each state born on the day terrorists killed nearly 3,000 peo- ple. The fact that Christina's life ended in tragedy was especially tragic to those who knew her. "Tragedy seems to have happened again," said the author of the book, Christine Naman. "In the form of this awful event." Authorities said the dead included Roll; Green; Giffords aide Gabe Zimmerman, 30; Doro- thy Morris, 76; Dorwin Stoddard, 76; and Phyllis Schneck, 79. Judge Roll had just stopped by to see his friend Giffords after attending I Mass. Sign up at: www.cologesoved.com/uofm
