Editing Jared Lee Loughner (section)

==Background==
Prior to committing the shooting, he shot a video of himself walking around the campus of Pima Community College (his withdrawn college) in search of students who have been [[torture]]d and accusing the college of committing "[[genocide]] in America", as well as insulting a professor who apparently gave him a B grade on an assignment. He also claimed the college's bookstore sold books that were illegal under the United States Constitution, though he does not elaborate on why this is.<ref>[https://abcnews.go.com/US/jared-lee-loughner-inside-alleged-arizona-shooters-youtube/story?id=12583906 The Conversation: Decoding Alleged Arizona Shooter's YouTube Posts], ''ABC News''</ref>

This video was shot illegally and subsequently uploaded to YouTube. Due to the illegal shooting of the video, it was taken down by ''The Wall Street Journal'' among other news organizations. College police officers took notice of it and suspended both Loughner and his father, Randy, informing him that he would need to take a mental health evaluation if he wanted to return.

In response to this, he caused a mass shooting on January 8th, 2011. His main target, however, was state representative Gabrielle Giffords, who was participating in a constituent meeting in the parking lot of a Safeway supermarket. She was shot, but survived. Loughner did, however, manage to kill 6 others students and wounding 13. He was discovered to have used a 9mm Glock pistol.

After his arrest, two medical evaluations diagnosed Loughner with paranoid schizophrenia and ruled him incompetent to stand trial. He was placed on medication while in jail, as part of his treatment. He was again judged incompetent in May 2012. Two months later, he was judged competent to stand trial, and at the hearing, he pleaded guilty to 19 counts. In November 2012, he was sentenced to life plus 140 years in federal prison.<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/08/us/loughner-pleads-guilty-in-2011-tucson-shootings.html Life Term for Gunman After Guilty Plea in Tucson Killings], ''The New York Times''</ref> He is currently incarcerated at FMC Rochester in Rochester, Minnesota, a prison for inmates with specialized health issues.
