PART 01 - Episode 221 - The Loughner You Look

Some of what you're about to hear has been reported countless times.

Some of it hasn't ever been spoken before now.

After fifteen years buried among tens of thousands of pages of FBI records, parts of the Jared Lee Loughner case are being told here for the first time.

This is Episode 221 of the 911 Calls Podcast.

A two-part investigation into Jared Lee Loughner and the Tucson shooting.

On January 8, 2011, a gunman opened fire outside a Tucson supermarket during a congressional meet-and-greet, killing six people and wounding thirteen others—including U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords.

The name Jared Lee Loughner became known across the country almost overnight.

But the story most people know is only the story that made it into the headlines.

For this two-part investigation, Op went far beyond the news coverage, digging through more than 30,000 pages of FBI records connected to the case—interviews, investigative reports, witness accounts, leads, observations, and details buried deep inside a federal investigation too massive to ever fit inside the breaking-news cycle.

And inside those files were pieces of this story that have remained largely untouched for more than fifteen years.

Details that never became part of the familiar narrative.

Accounts that national coverage passed over.

And information that, to the best of our research, has never been publicly told before.

Across two episodes, we reconstruct the case from the ground up: Loughner's descent toward violence, the people who crossed his path, the warnings that came before January 8, the attack itself, and the enormous federal investigation that followed.
