Police believe that the gunman who shot a US congresswoman in an attack which left six dead and wounded 12 in the Arizona city of Tucson, did not act alone, the local sheriff said. ...believe Ms Giffords, who is out of surgery, was specifically targeted and say a suspicious package has since been found at her office.
Clarence Dupnik, sheriff of Pima County who is in charge of the probe into the attack, told a news conference authorities are seeking a second male in connection with the shooting.
"There's some reason to believe that he came to this location with another individual," he said.
Mr Dupnik said the gunman, who was arrested at the scene, "has kind of a troubled past, and we're not convinced that he acted alone".
He said the gunman had a criminal past and was unstable but not insane, adding that the man was not talking to police officers in custody.
YouTube videos posted in Jared Loughner's name contain strange semi-political ramblings about "mind control" and terrorism. ...
It has been revealed that Ms Giffords, who had previously been the target of threats and vandalism over her positions on healthcare and immigration, had been worried about a map on Sarah Palin's website.
Ms Giffords is one of 20 Democrats whose districts were lit up with gun sight icons on Ms Palin's campaign website last year because they had voted for US president Barack Obama's landmark health care bill.
The congresswoman worried at the time that the imagery might incite violence.
"The way that she (Palin) had it depicted has the crosshairs of a gun sight over our district," Ms Giffords said.
"When people do that they've got to realise there's consequences to that action."...- ABC/AFP/Reuters

Fox New has little to be proud of and Colby really has to go now. But it was NPR that was the source of the Drudge erroneous headline, although they too backed it down pretty quickly.
When the dust settles I think we will find that there is a common source behind these false reports and I believe that source will be the incompetent and biased Pima County sheriff Clarence Dupnik. Not an excuse for the media not to do their homework.

You may very well be correct about this sheriff providing this misinformation.
I just knew when I was listening to FOX today that they were getting way ahead of themselves. The retraction/apology didn’t surprise me one bit, but it did pi$$ me off.
Can you imagine hearing that a family member had died through a breathless media outlet; only to find out later they hadn’t? And this happened so a bunch of degenerate Leftists could pin a crime on a conservative, and news agencies could break a story.
What a bunch of sick bastards.

“Any theory held by Sheriff Clarence Dupnik is likely to be about as feasible as pigs flying. The man is a fool.
And, per a comment I heard on Fox, worked in one of her past campaigns (chairman?).
I never read that anywhere. Do you have a source?
Geez, the site is messed up today, isn’t it?! My post doubled up too.
I believe it was a Glock 19 with extended mag. (semi-auto)
I was surprised that there was no security at Gifford’s “Congress on Your Corner” event. The eye witness accounts have been painfully slow coming out.
The knee jerk animosity towards the Tea Party Movement is my big concern. Ms Giffords’s father Spencer, 75, wept when asked if his daughter had any enemies. ‘Yeah,’ he said. ‘The whole Tea Party’ – the Right wing of the Republican Party.’
Naw...they just know the drill. They have it down pat, from using the same rhetoric that they have since the Reagan era!
I was at a Congressional debate prior to the last election. I had plenty of face time w/both candidates prior to the debate. No security. That’s the way it should be.
what is this?
>>Any theory held by Sheriff Clarence Dupnik is likely to be about as feasible as pigs flying. The man is a fool.
Is anyone else somewhat reminded of Chief Moose? Another case of the police chief acting in a way so as to A) muddle the situation and B) attempt to put blame where it should not be.
He said he was gay on his myspace profile.

No consequences for this POS POTUS using such terms.....we know we will see the Liberal Presstitutes ignore Erkel Mugabes use of the gun analogy .
This is a very good reminder to post on all your blog entries...
Yep, they are at it again...

Interesting details, and Spitzen points out that, so far, we are not being treated to security camera footage. In the Fort Hood shooting, there were strong indications - including an early statement by an official - that several people were involved.
Yeah, good call.
jerk.....and a democrat jerk at that....
I wish Jesse had won....
when Dipstick gave his unprofessional phoney baloney news conference, he didn’t even know how many people had been killed...he had to be corrected...
