Jared Loughner’s behavior recorded by college classmate in e-mails
The story of Jared Loughner just gets creepier and creepier.
In early June, Lynda Sorenson, 52, had gone back to community college in Tucson in hopes of getting back on the job market. One of her classes was a basic algebra class—and one of her classmates was Jared Loughner, now identified by authorities as the man who killed six people and critically wounded Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) in a shooting rampage Saturday. Sorenson’s e-mails to friends from last summer, provided to the Washington Post, reveal her growing alarm at Loughner’s strange and disruptive behavior in class.
One of Loughner’s instructors was so creeped out by Loughner’s behavior, he didn’t like to turn his back on the class to write something on the board, and when he had to do so, he would turn back quickly to see of Loughner was pointing a gun at him.
