We've gotten some email tips and seen some tweets about a big fire on Mass Ave this morning. Universal Hub reports details on street closures and traffic. Anyone have additional info? Update: The fire occurred in a hair salon in Porter. La Capelli Salon at 1776 Mass. Ave burned and Susanna, a store above, experienced smoke and water damage. No one was injured, though many drivers in stopped traffic threatened injury to others.

--For some reason, 32-year-old Keni Garcia of Haverhill allegedly wanted 85,000 bullets. The ATF, ICE and state and local authorities seem to think this was a bad idea. Who knew? Essex County prosecutors are charging Garcia, who was scheduled to become an American citizen today, with illegal possession of ammunition, three counts of possession of a high-capacity firearm, and illegal storage of a firearm. Investigators found 10,000 rounds in his car, 20,000 rounds at his house. He allegedly tried to buy 55,000 more rounds in New Hampshire.[Boston Globe, Boston Herald]
