| Description | Former U.S. Senate candidate Sharron Angle said Tuesday she's not to blame for the Arizona shooting that left six people dead and 14 injured.
The tea party-backed Republican who lost to Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has drawn criticism for alluding to "Second Amendment remedies" and the need to "take Harry Reid out" during her 2010 campaign.
"I condemn all acts of violence," she said in a statement e-mailed to reporters late Tuesday. "The despicable act in Tucson is a horrifying and senseless tragedy, and should be condemned as a single act of violence, by a single unstable individual."
Jared Loughner, 22, is accused of trying to assassinate U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, an Arizona Democrat, at a public event Saturday. She was shot in the head but survived.
His motives remain unknown. Investigators have said he appeared mentally unstable. Some have linked the shooting to divisive political rhetoric.
