Deadly tent collapse

Safety officials in northern New Hampshire worked through the night investigating the collapse of a circus tent during a severe storm that killed two spectators and injured at least 22 other people last evening. Dozens of emergency crews from surrounding towns rushed to the scene, reports CBS News correspondent Vladimir Duthiers. The storm, packing 60 mile-an-hour gusts, hail and much lightning, blew through around 5:30 p.m., just as the first of two scheduled shows was beginning.

California wildfires

There is a new battleground this morning in Northern California's massive Rocky fire. It jumped a vital containment line late last night, north of highway 20. Thousands of homes are in danger. It is one of more than two dozen wildfires in the West. Nine-thousand firefighters are battling flames from the air and the ground. CBS News correspondent Ben Tracy reports from the command post in Lakeport.

It found that debit-card compromises at ATMs on bank property surged 174 percent from Jan. 1 to April 9, while attacks on non-bank machines leaped by 317 percent during the same period.
