the libyan revolution. there was word early this morning that the con vi was hit by nato missiles. but we await more confirmation that the libyan leader was captured, wounded or perhaps killed. >> tracie potts, thank you for the very latest. big story. >> the time is 6:44. coming up, a new report says california's birthrate is dropping to levels they haven't seen since the great depression. >> we'll look at wall street and the fastest solution to rubix cube you ever saw.

they arrested doran long after a short pursuit on highway 50. richmond police say the security guard set up a wild gun battle at the office where he worked here in richmond. this is new video shot maybe ten minutes ago of the front of the office. police say he had at least three guns with him, a rifle and a shotgun and a hand gun, and he opened fire on a supervisor from outside. two other guards at the public housing complex heard it. police say he took off in his truck. before this it gets more strange. he fired into his neighbor's home in concord at least 30 times. richmond police telling us no one was hurt there. what set him off, they don't know. apparently he had some sort of beef earlier in the day with the supervisor who was fired on here. the good news, that supervisor is expected to be okay.

that's what we have from here. reporting live in richmond, christie smith. john and marla, back to you. >> definitely good news there. along with jobs numbers. home sales and consumer spending, you can add birds to the list of things on decline. birthrate in california dipped again this year. there were 68,000 fewer births last year compared with 2007. about 512,000 children were born in the state during 2010. that's down 10% from 2007. the state's birthrate has not been that low since 1935, during the great depression. analysts don't know for sure the if economy ask to blame. >> scott mcgrew with one final tech check. >> dow industrial is up 12 point this is morning. first time jobless claims that we get every thursday showing slight improvement. then i want to show you this video from the guys out of
