Three people are dead after an employee shot and killed two coworkers before turning the gun on himself at a New Jersey supermarket Friday morning, authorities said.
Police said the shooting happened Friday just before 4 a.m. inside a Pathmark grocery store on Route 9 in Old Bridge, N.J., a suburb about 25 miles from New York.

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Argentina just made it more expensive for its people to use credit cards outside the country, and more dangerous for cardholders who aren't paying all the taxes they should.
One measure published in Friday's official bulletin adds a 15 percent tax every time people make a purchase outside the country using a card issued by an Argentine bank. Another requires the banks to report every credit card purchase, home or abroad, to the tax agency.
The moves target Argentines who have discovered that by using credit cards outside the country, they can get around increasingly tight currency controls and shelter their money from soaring inflation. Purchases outside Argentina using peso-denominated cards soared 48 percent in June compared to the year before, obligating the central bank to send $289 million out of the country in just one month. Overall capital flight soared to $23 billion in 2011.
AFIP chief Ricardo Etchegaray, the government's top tax collector, presented the moves as populist measures that would only affect the wealthiest Argentines, and mainly when they travel outside the country — a reduced group of 168,000 taxpayers who charged $1.5 billion in the last 18 months.
But a closer look shows the measures go much farther, giving the government powerful new tools to combat widespread tax evasion.
Octomom" Nadya Suleman has been fired from celebrity boxing, and not because someone figured out she's not really a celebrity. No, Celebrity Boxing CEO Damon Feldman decided to let the mother of 14 kids go after she broke another opponent's hand in a pillow fight and skipped out on a match in Florida. The money Suleman has made from boxing over the years is not insignificant -- reportedly more than six figures -- so this news was surely a real blow (unlike the kind taken in Celebrity Boxing). We just hope and pray Suleman doesn't resort to shooting more porn to bridge the financial gap. [Source]
