Attorney general promises all necessary resources in investigating 'senseless act'
By Peter Schroeder - 01/08/11 06:05 PM ET


Attorney General Eric Holder promised to use "every resource necessary" to investigate the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.).

As many as 18 people were shot Saturday when a gunman began firing on a public event hosted by Giffords in front of a Tucson grocery store. At least five people have died, including a federal judge. The suspected shooter, 22-year-old Jared Lee Loughner, is in custody.

The president sent FBI Director Robert Mueller to Tucson to help oversee the investigation.

“Today’s tragedy in Arizona was a senseless act of violence that has already resulted in devastating loss, including the death of Chief United States District Court Judge John Roll and four other individuals and the wounding of Representative Gabrielle Giffords and a number of others," said Holder in a statement.

"The FBI is working jointly with local law enforcement to investigate today’s events, and I have directed department prosecutors and law enforcement officials to use every resource necessary to investigate this tragedy. I want to assure the people of Arizona and every American that we will hold accountable anyone responsible for these heinous acts.”

1. I hope they really do get to the bottom of this

because someone lit a fire under this guy's ass and they need to find out who. Thank goodness they got him alive. Let's just hope they can keep him that way until they find out what or who set him off.
