As the week has gone on, more and more unnerving details have emerged about Jared Lee Loughner, the accused shooter in last weekend's attempted assassination of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords which left six dead and 14 others injured. But late today, the Times reports on a particularly strange new development: law enforcement officials say they have multiple photos of Loughner posing with a Glock 9mm pistol next to his "naked buttocks and dressed in a bright red g-string."
It's reportedly the same model of gun as he used in the shootings last week; they were turned over to the police by Walgreens, where Loughner had taken the 35-mm film to be developed on Jan. 7, the day before the shooting. As of yet, the pictures have not been released to the public. The FBI also reported that they have video footage of the attack last Saturday, taken from the surveillance cameras of businesses in the shopping center where the shooting took place. But they said they hoped they video would not have to be used at trial, to spare the families of the victims.
