Massachusetts software engineer guilty in rampage
A Massachusetts man, Michael McDermott, 43, was convicted of murder for killing seven co workers at a software company. Prosecutors said he staged the killings after a delusional plan to stop a Holocaust style event and to avoid paying taxes. The verdict sentences him to life without parole. Separately, a 2000 acre wildfire forced evacuations in Bailey as winds drove flames through forests and communities. Four fires burned in New Mexico, including a 300 acre Magdalena Mountains blaze, about 50 percent contained. In Arizona, a 1000 acre blaze in the Baboquivari Wilderness was 60 percent contained.
