TUCSON — The Arizona sheriff helping investigate the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and others says the gunman may not have acted alone.

Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik said at a news conference in Tucson on Saturday that authorities may have a photo of another suspect.

Dupnik says officials believe a suspect in custody may have come to the grocery store parking lot with another person, and that person was in some way involved. Dupnik would offer no other information.

People familiar with the investigation have identified the suspected gunman being held as 22-year-old Jared Loughner.

The sheriff said Giffords was shot once in the head, and 18 other people were shot. Six are dead.

    brettanders I do not know where you are getting your information. This article said that Loughner may not have acted alone. I do not read anything here about immigration.

    [sad]It will not surprise me however if it turns out that this shooter was motivated by immigration issues.
