Loughner is now in custody of FBI

Suspect in federal custody after Tucson shooting

...One suspect was in custody immediately after the shooting in Tucson, Arizona. Investigators were "actively in pursuit" of a second man whom they believed may be involved in the attempted assassination, Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik said Saturday night.

Two people tackled the suspected shooter, stopping a spray of bullets from what federal and state law enforcement sources described as a 9mm Glock outfitted with a 30-round magazine. Dupnik declined to name the 22-year-old suspect. An Arizona law enforcement source and a federal law enforcement source, meanwhile, identified the suspect as Jared Lee Loughner. The suspect, who was being held by local authorities, was later taken into custody by the FBI, said Deputy Jason Ogan, Pima County Sheriff's Department spokesman.

Dupnik said investigators are not convinced that the suspect came to the supermarket alone. He said investigators were looking for a man seen near the suspect. Authorities did not know whether the person they sought actually had any connection with Loughner, a law enforcement source told CNN. Authorities have a piece of evidence that indicates this second individual was in close proximity to the store, the source said, but declined
to elaborate.

Investigators were trying to interview witnesses to determine if there was a connection between the two men, the source said. That source also said authorities were seeking search warrants for a residence and for a vehicle in connection with the suspect in custody...

The FBI refused to have anything to do with that program
which is about the only good thing I've ever heard about them.

8. Oh, well since he's accused of something bad I guess torture would be okay!
Edited on Sun Jan-09-11 02:34 AM by varkam
Only if the accusation is really bad though. And only if we don't like him.

I think it actually says in really little print just below the 8th Amendment to the United States Constitution, "except if the guy is an asshole."

19. That's bullshit. You don't hear that shit on DU, and I certainly don't know any liberals
who think that way.

Edited on Sun Jan-09-11 03:14 AM by Electric Monk
I'd like to see that. Will it happen?

Jon Stewart would self-quote their network into oblivion.

I figured that the feds were going to want him first, given that he killed a federal judge.
So this makes sense.

14. That, or the FBI could also believe there is a second suspect
In which case it becomes a federal national security issue (someone is out there who just attempted to assassinate a member of congress).

18. I saw more recently that it is not a person of interest, but that they want to ask him a few
questions.

Sounds like they walked in the store together. There was video published earlier, so I assume that is where they are getting the description from.

23. can't they find anything in his email or phone records?
he wasn't savvy or sane enough to take down his youtube garbage and seemed to confident that he was going to get away with it, but maybe the other guy tried to cover his tracks more.
