Jared Lee Loughner found competent to stand trial, but opts to plead guilty to Tucson shootings

The final chapter of the deadly Tucson shooting saga played out in a federal courtroom Tuesday when suspect Jared Loughner was found competent by a judge to stand trial and immediately pleaded guilty to 19 charges, including the wounding of former U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. Prosecutors agreed in exchange not to seek the death penalty. Instead, Loughner has agreed to a life sentence without possibility of parole. The Arizona Republic has more.
