Jared Lee Loughner has been declared mentally incompetent to stand trial for the mass shooting that injured Congresswoman Gabby Giffords in January.

The decision came down Wednesday following a bizarre situation in a Tucson, Arizona courtroom when Loughner began shouting and was removed from the proceedings.

“Thank you for the freak show.  She died in front of me.  You are changing it,” Loughner shouted at the judge.

Gabrielle Giffords defied the odds and watched her husband blast off in the shuttle early this morning -- in person!

The day before the launch at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, U.S. Rep. Giffords and her astronaut husband Mark Kelly spent some time together alone at an exclusive beach house on the property where the crew stays.
