SEARCHThe 22-year-old suspected shooter of 18 people, including an Arizona congresswoman, makes his first court appearance on Monday to answer five federal counts.
Jared Lee Loughner will appear in federal court Monday in Phoenix to face two murder charges and three attempted murder charges in the politically charged shooting in Tucson on Saturday.
