<p>The man accused of attempting to assassinate US congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords in a gun rampage that killed six people is due to appear in an Arizona court.</p>
<p>Investigators carried out a search warrant at 22-year-old Jared Loughner&#8217;s Tucson home and seized an envelope from a safe with messages including &#8220;I planned ahead&#8221;, &#8220;My assassination&#8221; and the name &#8220;Giffords&#8221; next to what appears to be the man&#8217;s signature.</p>
<p>Loughner allegedly bought the Glock pistol used in Saturday&#8217;s attack at Sportsman&#8217;s Warehouse in Tucson in November.</p>
<p>Court documents also show that Loughner had contact with Democrat Ms Giffords, 40, in the past. Other evidence included a letter on her official stationery in which she thanked him for attending a Congress on your Corner event at a shopping centre in Tucson in 2007.</p>
<p>Ms Giffords was shot in the head at about 10am at her first Congress on your Corner event of 2011 as she was meeting constituents outside a Tuscon supermarket.</p>
<p>Heather Williams, the first assistant federal public defender in Arizona, said her office was seeking an outside lawyer for Loughner because one of those killed was Arizona&#8217;s top judge, John Roll.</p>
<p>Pima County sheriff Clarence Dupnik said on Sunday that Loughner acted alone.</p>
<p>Loughner, who will appear before US Magistrate Judge Lawrence Anderson at the Sandra Day O&#8217;Connor Courthouse in Phoenix, is accused of killing six people, including a federal judge, an aide to Ms Giffords and a nine-year-old girl born on September 11, 2001. Fourteen others were wounded, including Ms Giffords.</p>
<p>Government prosecutors have charged Loughner with one count of attempted assassination of a member of congress, two counts of killing an employee of the federal government and two counts of attempting to kill a federal employee. He also could face state charges over the killings.</p>
<p>Doctors treating Ms Giffords at Tucson&#8217;s University Medical Centre provided an optimistic update about her chances for survival, saying they were &#8220;very, very encouraged&#8221; by her ability to respond to simple commands along with their success in controlling her bleeding.</p>
