I wanted to follow up on the formal charges that have been filed this afternoon against Jared Lee Loughner, the main suspect in that horrific massacre in an Arizona shopping center parking lot that has shaken America to its core. Just a while ago, the United States Attorney for the District of Arizona, Dennis K. Burke, announced that his office has filed a federal complaint against Loughner.
The complaint was signed by Magistrate Judge Michelle Burns in Phoenix. Loughner is suspected of shooting U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords, Chief Judge John Roll, Giffords' staff member Gabriel Zimmerman and approximately 16 others Saturday in Tucson, Ariz. The federal complaint alleges five counts against Loughner:

He is entitled to a preliminary hearing and a detention hearing. The court will set a date for both hearings. Loughner remains in federal custody.
