Loughner's stay at Missouri facility extended --Loughner undergoing forced medication 06 Feb 2012 The man suspected in the massacre outside of Tucson last year will likely remain held in a federal hospital in Missouri for at least four more months, a judge has ruled. Judge Larry Burns ordered that a hearing take place Monday in San Diego, where the judge is based, for defense attorneys and federal prosecutors to discuss the case. The order followed a doctor's finding that Loughner, who is undergoing forced medication, is still not mentally competent to stand trial. Loughner will not attend the hearing.
