Update in the Giffords Case

Jared Loughner, the man accused of shooting Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and more than a dozen other people in January, leaving six dead, has been found not competent to stand trial by a federal judge.

Judge Larry Burns issued his ruling moments after U.S. Marshals dragged Loughner out of the courtroom because of an angry outburst. As survivors of the deadly January attack looked on, Loughner had lowered his head, raised it and said what sounded like "Thank you for the freak show. She died in front of me."

His words were loud but mumbled, and it wasn't clear who he was talking about.

Loughner will be hospitalized in a facility in Springfield, Mo., to receive treatment. He could remain hospitalized indefinitely if he does not get well but remains a danger to himself or others.

What a sad situation, all around.
