Although this is not a CNN report I thought some of you may be wondering, as I was, what is the fate of the Tucson shooter's parents. Here is a small report until we can hear more, hopefully from Anderson.

Jared Loughner's Parents "Hurting Real Bad"
Parents of Tucson Shooting Suspect Guilt-Ridden over Son's Deadly Rampage, Neighbor Says; May Release Statement
(CBS) TUCSON - The parents of the suspect in Saturday's shooting spree in Tucscon are devastated and guilt-ridden, a neighbor said.
Jared Loughner, 22, appeared in court Monday on federal charges that he tried to assassinate U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and killed a federal judge. He is also accused of killing five others and wounding or injuring 13 others.
Loughner's parents, Randy and Amy Loughner, are devastated, according to neighbor Wayne Smith, 70.
"And they feel guilty for what happened," he told KPHO-TV Monday evening.
"They want to know, where did they fail? I told them they didn't fail. They taught him everything about right and wrong. We all know you can teach someone everything and have no control how it works out."
Amy Loughner has been in bed, crying nonstop since Saturday, Smith said. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Smith said the pair - who haven't been seen the incident on Saturday - were "hurting real bad … They are devastated."
