Authorities Release Detailed Loughner Timeline

TUCSON - The suspected gunman in the Arizona mass shooting had photos developed, bought bullets at a Wal-Mart and posted "Goodbye friends" on the Internet before he went on his rampage, authorities said Friday.

Jared Loughner, 22, dropped the film off to be developed on the eve of the shooting, checked into a motel and then picked up the photos a couple of hours later, according to a detailed timeline released by the Pima County Sheriff's Office. He also bought ammunition and a diaper bag at a Wal-Mart less than three hours before the shooting.
