was taken into custody as the alleged shooter. Police reportedly had
also arrested a second suspect, however law enforcement official told
Fox News they believe Loughner acted alone after a "preliminary search"
for a second suspect turned up no one.

that he expected Saturday to be his last day and had written on his
MySpace page several "final thoughts" that included rants on illiteracy
and the failure of U.S. currency to be backed by gold.
According to law enforcement officials, the suspect began shouting
something before shooting wildly with an automatic weapon.
