Jared Lee Loughner (the man who shot Congresswoman Giffords [D-Arizona]) is said to be mentally unstable. His writings and comments indicate that he holds grudges against the government, and he also seems to have held an irrational grudge against the congresswoman. During Loughner's shooting spree, he killed 6 people and injured 13 others.
