Officers stopped suspect on day of Ariz. shooting
TUCSON, Ariz. – A wildlife officer pulled over the suspect in the assassination attempt against an Arizona congresswoman less than three hours before the deadly attack, authorities said Wednesday as they pieced together more details of a frenzied morning.
Jared Lougher ran a red light but was let off with a warning at 7:30 a.m. Saturday, the Arizona Game and Fish Department said. The officer took Loughner’s driver’s license and vehicle registration information but found no outstanding warrants on Loughner or his vehicle.
Wildlife officers don’t usually make traffic stops unless public safety is at risk, such as running a red light, the department said in a news release, which didn’t say where the stop took place.
It’s the latest evidence of Loughner’s busy morning before police say he shot and killed six and wounded more than a dozen at a Tucson grocery store.
