He was arrested after shooting nearly 20 people at the Safeway grocery store, including Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and U.S. District Court Judge John Roll.  Officers believe that the shooting was a planned act of terrorism by the young suspect, believing that his primary targets were Congresswoman Giffords and Judge Roll.  When Loughner heard accusations of being called a terrorist he said ".I define terrorist..a terrorist is a person who employs terror or terrorism, especially as a political weapon."
