The travel rush is expected to pick back up today and forecasters are warning travelers to prepare for slow traffic and flight delays. Today, driving will be hazardous in parts of the Midwest and Northeast, where lake-effect snow will cause whiteout conditions and slippery roads. The South-Central U.S. could see heavy rains, causing flight delays from East Texas to Western Kentucky.        The suspect in Wednesday's shooting of two National Guard members is now facing a first-degree murder charge. U.S. Attorney for Washington, D.C. Jeanine Pirro announced the upgraded charge this morning following the death of Sarah Beckstrom. The other guardsman shot in the incident, Andrew Wolfe, remains hospitalized in critical condition.        The holiday shopping season has arrived. The National Retail Federation estimates a record number of shoppers - nearly 190 million - will do at least some shopping between now and Cyber Monday this year. Fifty-percent of consumers say they'll be gifting clothing and accessories.        More than 120 people have been confirmed dead in a fire at a high-rise housing complex in Hong Kong. Hundreds are still unaccounted for. Firefighters have largely extinguished the blaze that started Wednesday afternoon and spread quickly along the bamboo scaffolding being used for renovation outside the apartment buildings.        The murder of a Colorado man is being investigated on the Caribbean island of Tobago. Police say 43-year-old Christopher Brown's body was found Wednesday night. He'd apparently been stabbed to death. Brown reportedly told friends he was going to try to buy marijuana before his murder.        The field for the NBA Cup knockout rounds will be set tonight. There are eleven games on the schedule with three determining group winners. The winners of Orlando-Detroit, Phoenix-Oklahoma City and San Antonio-Denver will finish first in their groups and advance to the knockout rounds.
