Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik said Saturday evening that the man linked to the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and others might have an accomplice. "We are not convinced he acted alone," Dupnik said at a news conference. Dupnik said investigators have reason to believe the 22-year-old suspect whom he would not name came to the scene with someone else. "We have photos," Dupnik said of the gunman's companion. Nate T. Gray, of the FBI, referred to bringing "those responsible" to justice. Six people have now died in the attack, said Gray, who is in charge of the FBI office in Phoenix. Five people died at the scene and a 9-year-old girl died at a hospital, said Dupnik. There was no security at the event, a meet-and-greet outside a Safeway on the northwest side, Gray said. In all, 19 people were shot or injured, Dupnik said. Two of the people who were wounded have not been identified by authorities, he said. The surgeon is "cautiously optimistic" that Giffords "may survive," Dupnik said. Federal Judge John Roll went to mass at Tucson's cathedral, as he did every Saturday, and on his way home decided to stop and say ‘hi' to Giffords, his friend, Dupnik said. "He was at the wrong place at the wrong time," Dupnik said. Dupnik called two people who tackled the gunman "were brave individuals, noting that the semi-automatic pistol still had ammunition when the gunman was taken into sheriff's custody. He said the gunman was a subject of, "some police interest in the recent past," and he has made death threats in the past, but not toward Giffords. There was no reason to worry about the Giffords event in advance, he said. The attack started at 10:10 a.m. amid a crowd of about two dozen people. The gunman might have planned to shoot himself, Dupnik told reporters.

Right wing terror in action. I would say that if Homeland Security needs to crack down on anyone, it's the Tea Terrorists.
Arizona. Now the capitol of crazy. "The one thing that leaps out about Jared Lee Loughner is that he did an enormous amount of damage in a short time with just a pistol."
It is one screwed up state. This Congresswoman angered the Tea Terror cells of this state because she got in the way of a GOP sweep. It's not hard to see who wanted her dead, and anyone who supported her intimidated. It's time for more Democrats to represent that party in Congress. We should have a separate national movement to send money and people to that state to unseat any criminals the Tea Terrorists helped put into power there.
Now you advocate overturning election results. There is no place in a representative democracy for intolerant people like you. You and your fellow leftists are disgusting exploiting the shooting to further your extreme views regarding the Tea Party.
And we are supposed to surprised when people start shooting at Democrats?
Are we supposed to be surprised that Daily Kos and liberal assholes targeted a bluedog democrat? http://www. dailykos.com/story/2008/6/25/1204/74882/511/541568
Good luck getting them to face reality.
I'm going to hammer the hypocritical assholes mercilessly!
You are getting flustered, buttercup. You mean, UNmercifully. Dummy.
No ignorant asshole, mercilessly. Buy a fookin clue or learn to use a dictionary.

You know, our Founding Fathers, they put that Second Amendment in there for a good reason and that was for the people to protect themselves against a tyrannical government. And in fact Thomas Jefferson said it's good for a country to have a revolution every 20 years.
I hope that's not where we're going, but, you know, if this Congress keeps going the way it is, people are really looking toward those Second Amendment remedies and saying my goodness what can we do to turn this country around? I'll tell you the first thing we need to do is take Harry Reid out.
