PHOENIX, Ariz. — The parents of Jared Loughner, the 22-year-old suspect in the fatal shooting of six people and attempted assassination of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, are "devastated" and "hurting real bad," a neighbor told The Wall Street Journal.
Neighbor, Wayne Smith told the Journal that on Saturday the Loughners had returned home from shopping in their white Chevy truck to find sheriffs' cars at the house and deputies stringing crime scene tape around the area. Smith had seen the news on television and went across to tell them that their son, Jared, was the suspect.
"She almost passed out right there," Smith told the Journal. "He sat in the road with the tape up and cried."
"They're hurting real bad.
They are devastated," he added.
Smith, 70, who was asked by Randy Loughner to bring in their mail Monday, told the Journal that Amy Loughner was having a "nervous breakdown." – MSN Webpage
There is no shortage of suffering is there? Not only the victims of the shooting, but the parents of the shooter. They are devastated to find out that their son has done such a thing. Time after time, from Columbine to Virginia Tech to Arizona, this is the case. It is also the case with suicide. Those who commit suicide may end their pain, but it only begins for their loved ones. - DJ
