A federal judge Wednesday agreed with two doctors who testified that suspected Tucscon shooter Jared Loughner is unfit to stand trial and ordered him to receive treatment at a facility in Springfield, Mo.

Responding to the order, Loughner started rubbing his forehead, lowered his head and rocked back and forth. He looked at the judge and blurted, "Thanks for the freak show. I saw her die in front of me."

U.S. Marshals then escorted him out of the courtroom.
