Prosecutors seek psychiatric test for Tucson shooting suspect
Prosecutors asked a US judge to commit the suspect in the Tucson shooting rampage that wounded Representative Gabrielle Giffords to a federal facility where he can be evaluated by psychologists to determine whether he suffers from a mental defect that makes him incompetent to stand trial.
They cited a YouTube video, in which prosecutors believe a hooded Jared Lee Loughner burns an American flag, and a photo posted on MySpace of the type of gun used in the January 8 shooting to suggest that the 22-year-old has mental issues.
