CHESAPEAKE, Va.—Families, friends and fellow workers on Thanksgiving Day were mourning the death of six employees allegedly killed at a Walmart by a night supervisor, the second major mass shooting in America in less than seven days. Police identified five of the dead victims as Lorenzo Gamble, Brian Pendleton, Kellie Pyle, Randall Blevins and Tyneka Johnson. The name of a 16-year-old male victim wasn’t released because he was a minor. All six were Walmart associates, a company spokesman said.

Nov 23 (Reuters) - Authorities on Wednesday identified the people killed in a mass shooting at a Walmart (WMT.N) store in Chesapeake, Virginia, ranging in age from a 16-year-old boy to a 70-year-old man. The youngest victim was a 16-year-old Chesapeake boy, whose name was not revealed because he was a minor. Blevins' cousin wrote on Facebook that he had worked at Walmart for many years and was planning his retirement in the next year. Pyle had updated her Facebook status on Nov. 1 to say she was in a relationship with Brian Baker. The gunman was identified as Andre Bing, 31, of Chesapeake, Virginia.
☆ Powerball jackpot hits $1 billion — but only if you pick the less-popular prize option. If you win, here's the tax bill

The annuity option is higher than it has been, relative to the cash option, due to higher interest rates that make it possible for the game to fund larger annuitized prizes, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association, which runs Powerball. The cash option, however, is driven by ticket sales. Assuming you were like most winners and chose the cash option, a 24% federal tax withholding would reduce the $497.3 million by $119.4 million. The top federal income tax rate is 37% and this year applies to income above $539,900 for individual tax filers and $647,850 for married couples. While some jurisdictions have no income tax — or do not tax lottery winnings — others impose a top tax rate of more than 10%.
