Giffords shooting suspect incompetent for trial

None

The man accused of wounding US Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and killing six is mentally incompetent to stand trial, a judge ruled Wednesday after US Marshals dragged the man out of the courtroom because of an angry outburst.

 

US District Judge Larry Burns' decision means the 22-year-old will be sent to a federal facility for up to four months, to see if he can improve to the point where he understands the case against him. (AP)
