Tucson, Arizona (CNN) -- Arizona shooting victim James Eric Fuller sent his apologies Monday for telling a Tea Party leader, "you are dead."
Dorothy DeRuyter, a companion of Fuller's, provided CNN with a statement.
"I would like to tender my sincerest apologies to Mr. (Trent) Humphries for my misplaced outrage on Saturday at the St. Odelia's town meeting," Fuller said in the statement. "It was not in the spirit of our allegiance and warm feelings to each other as citizens of our great country."
Fuller, 63, was involuntarily committed to a county mental health facility after he photographed Tucson Tea Party founder Humphries and said, "You are dead" when Humphries began speaking at the event.
Fuller "is apologetic and very sad" about his outburst, DeRuyter said. "He wishes he could go back and do things differently," she said.
Humphries said Fuller's comment came when the town hall discussion turned to gun control.
"I was asked to give my thoughts on gun control laws and perhaps the passage of new laws," Humphries said of the incident. "I said something to the effect that although gun rights and laws are not necessarily the primary focus of the Tucson Tea Party, our community needs to be given the opportunity to allow some time to pass and people to heal before we start this type of political dialogue."

Lock him up in a mental asylum and throw away the key, and do the same to the Congressional Progressive Caucus, original member Nancy Pelosi, and the leftist press as well.
Yeah, right. LOL. Time to talk civil.
I wonder if the Pima County Sheriff found any guns or human ear necklaces when they searched his home. Maybe they should search his car for a bloody phillips head screwdriver.
Wow! Nothing on that list has made it to the news foreground.
I’ve been wondering how a guy that was “shot in the knee” is managing to get around a few short days after the injury.
Fuller stuff your fake apology.
He can stick his sorries in a sock. He is Fuller chit.
How come all the nutcases have proper first and middle names?
Oh, I have it on good authority that this Fuller guy was with John Kerry in Cambodia and Laos doing super secret stuff that got them both the medal of honor. The special super secret medal of honor.
I say we shoot him up with thorazine and stick him in an elevator.
It is nice of his lawyer to persuade him to apologize.
On the other hand, I would accept the apology. No one was really hurt, and occasionally people get overly excited and say things that they don’t mean, I would hate for everyone who says something like this to be hauled off and treated like a complete nut case. Even a liberal!
Sorry, but we can't let you out.
Good, Now off to the pokey with you.
Retarded Lunatic.
How differently? Maybe goback and shoots Humpheries!
This asshat is a dumbass. He thought he could just spout something and being the clever moonbat that he is, put a “flash” on it. He is going to jail. Stupidity works that way.
Yeah, like string a necklace?
Shouldn’t that say shooting victim and insane democrat operative.
Two different interviews....by the second one, Fuller is starting his attacks.
