A man who was injured in last weekend’s shootings at a northwest-side grocery store was taken into custody Saturday, accused of making a threatening comment during a town hall meeting, authorities said. Fuller, a naval air veteran, was shot in the left knee and hit in the back with bullet fragments during the shootings.

James Eric Fuller, 63, was involuntarily committed for a mental health evaluation after the taping of a town hall organized for ABC’s “This Week,” said Deputy Jason Ogan, a Pima County Sheriff’s Department spokesman.

Fuller was attending the event at St. Odilia Catholic Church with other people involved in the Jan. 8 shootings that killed six people and wounded 13, including Giffords.

During the taping, Tucson Tea Party co-founder Trent Humphries was making a comment when Fuller reportedly turned around, snapped a photo of Humphries with his camera and said, “You’re dead,” Ogan said.

“After he made the comment, he began verbalizing too, pointing to the side of his head making gestures like, ‘You’re crazy’,” said sheriff’s Bureau Chief Rick Kastigar, who attended the event.
