ISIS claims Texas attack
On ISIS' official radio station, the terror group is now claiming responsibility for an attack on a Texas art exhibit and contest featuring drawings of the prophet Muhammad. Authorities say one of two gunmen involved was Elton Simpson. CBS News correspondent Jeff Pegues reports he had been on the FBI's radar for years, and died in the incident. The mother of Nadir Soofi, the other man killed, says she can't imagine what went through her son's mind, reports CBS News correspondent Omar Villafranca. She believes Simpson, who is Soofi's roommate, orchestrated the attack.
Stolen valor
A Northern California man who built his life and career around his professed service in the Marines is being accused of fabricating his military record.

Hazardous state
North Dakota is the nation's deadliest state in which to work, with an on-the-job fatality rate more than four times the national average, and the number of worker deaths more than doubling from 2007 to 2013. That's according to an annual report compiled by the AFL-CIO, which found hazardous working conditions lead to the deaths of 150 workers across the country each day.

Doctor becomes patient
When fertility doctor Angie Beltsos learned she could not carry the fourth baby she longed for, she found herself in a similar situation as her patients. When she finally did become pregnant again, complications led to the baby being born prematurely and ultimately not surviving. Beltsos says the tragedy left a void in her life that her family urged her to fill. Eventually, she decided to try to find a surrogate. But how?
