[0:00] Thank you. Thank you.
[0:02] A massacre in Massachusetts. Police
[0:05] charge a heavily armed man with shooting
[0:07] co-workers in a Boston suburb. There are
[0:10] seven dead and one shooter. Ice and snow
[0:12] make a travel nightmare in the planes.
[0:15] Wind and fire threatens homes in the
[0:17] West. Post Christmas sales draw bargain
[0:20] hunters. But will it be enough for
[0:22] retailers? And the hunt for seven
[0:25] desperate fugitives in Texas.

[0:35] This is the CBS Evening News with Dan
[0:39] Rather and good evening. Dan is off
[0:41] tonight. I'm John Roberts. The post
[0:43] Christmas calm ended in violence and
[0:45] death today for workers in an office
[0:47] building in a Boston suburb. It was a
[0:50] massacre. A man armed with an assault
[0:52] rifle and two other weapons walked into
[0:54] a Wakefield, Massachusetts internet
[0:56] consulting firm where he worked and shot
[0:58] and killed seven co-workers. Tonight,
[1:00] the suspect is in custody. As for a
[1:02] motive, police would only say it was
[1:04] quote workrelated. CBS News
[1:07] correspondent Randall Kingston is at the
[1:09] scene in Wakefield tonight with the
[1:10] latest. Randall, John, there have been
[1:12] massive layoffs throughout America's
[1:14] high-tech industry, but Edgewater
[1:16] Technology here in Wakefield was an
[1:17] exception. Revenues were up. There were
[1:19] plans to hire more workers. This is not
[1:21] the place where you would expect a
[1:22] disgruntled employee bent on murder, but
[1:25] it happened here. And tonight, police
[1:26] are investigating the only mass shooting
[1:28] in America this year. At 11:00 a.m.,
[1:32] Wakefield, Massachusetts police received
[1:34] numerous 911 calls of shots fired
