There is not a lot of information about the man arrested for shooting Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ), killing S.S. District Judge John Roll, a 9-year-old child and injuring at least 18 people. What we know now. Feel free to add links to new information in the comments.
CBS:
Police said the suspect, Jared Loughner, 22, has had one minor run-in with the law. Little information is known immediately about Laughner – such as his background or a possible motive in the attack.
Police said a pistol with an extended magazine was used.
A law enforcement source told CBS News that a man apparently stood up in the crowd during the town hall meeting, shouted something and then opened fire. Someone – possibly police or security – then shot at the gunman.
The gunman has been apprehended but it is unknown if he was wounded.
Around the Twittersphere, there is talk that this is Loughner’s YouTube page, but it has not been confirmed. Let’s just say this person is what we feared – a winger with serious issues.
