Jared Lee Loughner, 23, of Tucson, Ariz., pleaded guilty today in federal district court to charges stemming from the January 8, 2011 shooting outside a supermarket that killed six people and wounded 13 others.  Under the terms of the plea agreement, Loughner will be sentenced to life in prison with no eligibility for parole.  "It is my hope that this decision will allow the Tucson community, and the nation, to continue the healing process free of what would likely be extended trial and pre-trial proceedings that would not have a certain outcome.  The prosecutors and agents assigned to this matter have done an outstanding job and have ensured that justice has been done," said Attorney General Eric Holder.
