Suspect in U.S. Arizona shooting rampage appears in court
PHOENIX 1, the United States, Jan. 10 (Xinhua) -- Jared Loughner, the suspect in Saturday's rampage shooting in Tucson, the U.S. state of Arizona, appeared in court on Monday afternoon to face felony charges.
The Sandra Day O'Connor Federal Courthouse（法院） in Phoenix was heavily guarded by police officers and Department of Homeland Security agents as the brief hearing was going on.
The appearing was presided over by U.S. Magistrate 2 Lawrence Anderson who informed Loughner of the penalties he could face if he is found guilty of the crimes.
Wearing a tan detention 3 uniform with his head shaven, Loughner answered questions in a deep, resonant 4 voice. But most of the time he remained silent.
Loughner, 22, was accused of killing 5 six people and wounding 14 others, including U.S. Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona, at a gathering 6 outside a grocery store in Tucson on Saturday.
U.S. District Judge John Roll and Gabe Zimmerman, a Giffords aide, were among the victims killed in the shooting, which presumably targeted Giffords.
Giffords, 40, was shot in the head and underwent surgery（外科）. She remains 7 in critical condition and it was unknown whether she will be able to return to Congress.
Loughner could receive up to life in prison if convicted of shooting Giffords, and up to 20 years if convicted in the shootings of two other congressional aides.
Loughner also is expected to face a series of charges in state courts.
As expected, Anderson appointed noted 8 defense 9 attorney Judy Clarke of San Diego as Loughner's attorney.
Clarke waived 10 a detention hearing and Anderson, on the recommendation of Assistant U.S. Attorney Wallace Kleindienst, remanded Loughner to detention pending 11 a Jan. 24 hearing.
Clarke also demanded that the U.S. Attorney's Office in Phoenix be conflicted out of the case.
"There is great concern with proceeding 12 any further than today with Arizona judges," Clarke said.
As the hearing ended, Anderson turned to the defendant 13 and said: "Good luck to you, Mr. Loughner. We are adjourned 14."The motive 15 for the killing remains unknown. Loughner has not been cooperating with investigators 16, authorities said.
Official sources familiar with the investigation 17 said local authorities are looking at a possible connection between Loughner and the American Renaissance 18, an online group known for its anti- government rhetoric 20.
The group is reportedly connected to the white supremacist New Century Foundation.(本文由在线英语听力室整理编辑)
