6. Invesigators say they seized evidence suggesting Loughner planned ahead.

Invesigators said they carried out a search warrant at the suspect's home and seized an envelope from a safe with messages such as "I planned ahead..."

Yeah, I'd say that counts as evidence he planned ahead.

Kind of like finding a Presidential Daily Briefing Document titled, "Osama Bin Laden Determined to Attack Within The United States..."
