Arizona Suspect Wrote ‘Die Bitch’ on Giffords Note

Jared Loughner, accused of shooting U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords in the Tucson, Arizona, attack that killed six people and wounded 14, wrote “die bitch” and “die cops” on a letter he received from the lawmaker in 2007, officials said.

The note was found by FBI investigators searching the Tucson home of Loughner and his parents, Captain Chris Nanos of the Pima County Sheriff’s Department said in a telephone interview yesterday. Giffords, who authorities have said was the target of the Jan. 8 shooting spree, remains hospitalized in critical condition with a gunshot wound to her head.
