Loughner Pleads Not Guilty To Tucson Shootings

Suspect says nothing in federal court as plea is entered on his behalf

Tucson shooting rampage suspect Jared Lee Loughner pleaded not guilty Monday to federal charges of attempting to assassinate U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords and attempting to murder two of her staff members.

A 22-year-old college dropout, Loughner is accused of opening fire on Giffords and a crowd of bystanders outside a grocery store in north Tucson on Jan. 8, killing six people, including a federal judge, and wounding 13. Giffords was shot in the head but survived.

Dressed in an orange prison jumpsuit and wearing wire-rimmed glasses, the shaved hair on his head starting to grow back, Loughner said nothing as the plea of not guilty was entered on his behalf.
