TUCSON, AZ (KOLD) - The man sought by the FBI and Pima County Sheriffs deputies as a "person of interest" turned out to be the suspect's cab driver, The Arizona Daily Star is reporting. The man told detectives he gave Jared Loughner a ride to the shopping center where the shooting took place on Oracle and Ina roads. The cab driver walked with Loughner into the Safeway store so the suspect could get cash to pay the fare, according to the Arizona Daily Star report. More from the article: FBI Director Robert Mueller said he expects federal charges to be filed Sunday afternoon against Loughner. There's a possibility the charges may be related to domestic terrorism, Mueller said. Stay with KOLD News for further updates. Records substantiate the driver dropped Loughner off at 9:59 a.m., Kastigar said. Loughner was picked up nearby. The first report of a shooting came in 10:11 a.m. and paramedics were on scene at 10:16 a.m., Kastigar said.
He took cab to commit a murder? This guy does not seem to have been interested in covering his tracks.
More like he didn’t expect to survive; suicide by cops he was hoping?
The left blew themselves up with this blame game stunt.
And so do you, Sheriff Butthead!
I guess it was nice that he went in to get cash and then paid the cabbie instead of just capping him!
They aren’t done.
Never let a crisis go to waste, even if you have to make the crisis out of whole cloth.
Achmed? DON’T SOUND CHRISTIAN TO ME
"Person of interest" is cab driver.
Man, I hope you're right.
Personally, I think it's a little too early to agree.
But it sure would be nice.
He killed a federal judge. That’s a federal crime and is the reason the “Federales” are poking their noses in there.
According to the FBI he left a note at home stating he had planned it since 2007. He had no intention of getting away with it. I can't think of an American assasination offhand where the assasin tried to get away since Lee Harvey Oswald.
“Sheriff Butthead”
He made a real a$$ out of himself...yesterday and today. Who elects these ass-—es????
I know, I know...fellow ass-—es.
Where did you get Achmed?
Yeah.....but I’’ll bet that the cab driver once took a couple of blue-haired little old ladies wearing flag pins to the bus stop where they were taking a greyhound to a TEA Party rally.
I smell a right-wing conspiracy here......
Kevin Bacon is the missing link.
Or coming out of there alive.
Does anyone here have the name of the cab driver?
How is that for the investigative genius of the sheriff?/s
Maybe he should try doing his job instead of on tv lecturing the rest of us.
