Jared Lee Loughner wore a chilling smile while his photo was taken for his official mugshot. Loughner had just been arrested on suspicion of killing 6 people and injuring 14 more in Tucson, Arizona over the weekend.

Loughner, 22, heard formal charges on Monday, before Magistrate Judge Lawrence Anderson. He is charged with five counts of murder and attempted murder. The charges include the assassination attempt of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords (D). The congresswoman is in critical condition, though she is stable at present.

The tragic event has swept the nation, sparking hot debate on all-day news networks. For what it’s worth, Jared Lee Loughner is a registered Independent. He did not vote in 2008.
