In addition, investigators believe Loughner spent the night at a Motel 6 the evening before the shooting, Nanos said.
Authorities would not say how they discovered that information, but say they recovered a credit card from Loughner after the shooting.
http://edition.cnn.com/2011/CRIME/01/13/arizona.shooting.investigation/?hpt=T2At 2:33 a.m. Saturday, Loughner visited a convenience store less than a mile from his house, CBS News reports. Alone, he bought a doughnut, a soft drink and several energy bars. He did not buy alcohol.
Surveillance video of Loughner at the Catalina Mart has been given to the FBI, which wanted the video to see if he had any accomplices, CBS News reports. The FBI scanned Loughner's credit card purchases to track his whereabouts before the shooting.
The morning of the shooting, Loughner went to two WalMart stores to buy ammunition. He left the first store because the clerk was too slow. He bought the ammo at the second store.
Either right before or right after buying the ammo, Loughner was pulled over for running a red light and released, in the earlier described incident.
