that Jared Lee Loughner has been taken into custody as the suspected shooter who killed six people in Tucson Saturday. One of our readers pointed us to a YouTube account opened in October in that name.
There are five videos, the first of which was posted in November. They are embedded below in chronological order, starting with the oldest.
We cannot confirm that this is the YouTube account of the same person arrested in connection with the shooting, and we have asked YouTube to provide us with more information. We will keep you posted.

Update: AP is reporting that the YouTube account appears genuine. Loughner also had a MySpace page (which was taken down) on which he reportedly posted a note before the shooting asking his friends not to be mad at him.
