Police Made Visits To Loughner Home Before Shooting

The Tucson, Arizona family home of 22-year-old Jared Loughner had been visited by authorities before the shooting of a congresswoman and 18 others last Saturday, new information by the New York Times revealed Wednesday.

It’s unclear what the visits were about or what prompted the call to authorities — the Times speculates it could have been about trivial matters — but legal analysts plan to release additional information about the calls as soon as they’ve been reviewed.

Federal authorities have seized several items of interest from the home of Jared Loughner, including three separate notes that contained the words “Die, bitch,” “I planned ahead” and “My assassination.”

Loughner also left a trail of online videos and social networking blog posts, later discovered by media outlets after the shooting had taken place.

Loughner was formally brought upon federal charges Monday.
