Police: Loughner up all night at Walmarts, Circle Ks before shooting

[spanone]

Tucson, Arizona (CNN) -- Jared Lee Loughner was up all night before gunning down 19 people -- six fatally -- outside an Arizona supermarket, taking several trips to the supermarket's shopping plaza in between checking in at an area hotel and visiting two Walmarts to buy ammunition, according to a timeline released Friday by the Pima County Sheriff's Office.

Loughner, 22, got a room at a nearby Motel 6, but did not spend much time there late the night of January 7 and early January 8, the Sheriff's Office timeline indicates.

At 11:35 p.m., he dropped off a roll of 35 mm film at a Walgreens next door to the Safeway supermarket where the shooting occurred.

After buying something about an hour later at a nearby Circle K convenience store and checking into the Motel 6 one mile to the west on Ina Road, he returned at 2:19 a.m. to pick up the photos and make other purchases.

Fifteen minutes later, he stopped at a Chevron gas station where, according to a source with direct knowledge, he bought a doughnut, a soft drink and several energy bars. Surveillance video captured Loughner making the purchases, and he also used the pay phone at the store, according to the source.

1. How much METH did he do to stay up like that??

[spanone]

2. when you're planning an assassination, you're probably running on adrenaline

:shrug:

3. You don't need Meth to stay up for one entire night.

13. For one night, and high on adrenaline?

Hardly

19. One marked symptom of schizophrenia is not sleeping.

In fact, it is one of the first questions you learn to ask a client with that diagnosis, as a way to check if the meds are working.

4. Being the loner that he was, I find myself wondering just who it was that he called?

9. (edit) A friend of his reported some days ago that loughner called him and

left a message. My money's on the friend.

Bryce Tierney told the dispatcher that the "shooter was someone that I knew" and that Loughner left a message on his phone at 2 a.m. on the day of the shooting. That's about eight hours before the rampage last Saturday.

Tierney told the dispatcher in the call released Friday that Loughner didn't say much and that the call came from a restricted number.

10. Then he wasn't really a loner. He did have friends?

[Cerridwen]

11. He appears to have had a few. I'm not sure how close he was

with others. I'm just going by what I've read about and by him.

5. Why did he drop off film if he thought he was going to do something

that might get himself killed?

8. Trophy photos

There was a thread earlier today talking about the photos he took - in a red gstring with his glock. Walgreens handed them over to the cops. My guess is he wanted the world to see that his partner was his glock - one hell of a phallic symbol.

I'd love to know who he called on that payphone.

16. Thanks - bizarre isn't the word to describe this.

6. "He pulled a crumpled copy of the Constitution out of his pocket and waved it at me"...

Pima County on Thursday released records saying that Loughner visited the Rio Nuevo One-Stop Career Center in September, but was asked to leave because he was using a video camera and

refused to turn it off despite being asked repeatedly. "He pulled a crumpled copy of the Constitution out of his pocket and waved it at me, saying it was his right," a staffer's report on the incident

said.

15. crazy and waving around a constitution

I know I have seen people just like that at some events with signs.
Dang, if I could just remember where.

I think it was at political rallies that started a few days after the black president was inaugurated.

Wish I could remember what party those people were affiliated with so I could give the police some leads.

12. I've gone

temporarily insane in Walmart before, that's why I stay out of them.

14. Want to know what else is scary about this story?

How easily (relatively speaking), they traced and have records/recordings of his every move up until the time of the shooting.

[spanone]

17. they said his electronic motel room key told them he went in & out 7 times

i didn't realize they stored info....interesting

i just saw that on cnn teevee
