On Sunday, federal prosecutors filed charges against Jared Lee Loughner, the man accused of killing five people at a Tucson grocery store on Saturday. The apparent target of the attack, Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, survived, but she suffered a gunshot wound to the head -- doctors, somehow, are cautiously optimistic. Thirteen people were also wounded at the Safeway, where Giffords was holding an outreach event.
You can read the New York Times' account of the charges here, or the release from the U.S. attorney in Arizona, outlining the charges, here.
The five people killed were John Roll, a federal judge who had received death threats of his own; Gabriel Zimmerman, who worked as a staffer for Giffords; Christina Greene, 9; Phyllis Scheck, 79; Dorthy Morris, 76; and Dorwin Stoddard, 76. ..For the remainder of the story.. by Crime Scene KC
