Canada's PM Says Nation Won't Be Intimidated

Prime Minister Stephen Harper calls the shooting Canada's second terrorist attack in three days. The gunman was shot and killed inside the Parliament building.

Shaheen and Brown debate tonight
U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen and her Republican challenger Scott Brown are facing each other tonight for their third debate in as many weeks.

Shaheen has been arguing that Brown won't work for New Hampshire residents, particularly women.

Opposed Portland apartment plan scaled way back
A Miami-based developer is dramatically scaling back a plan that formerly called for four 14-story apartment buildings outside Portland's downtown. Federated Cos. Chairman Jonathan Cox says the new plan is instead a "more traditional, mid-rise project" with four six-story buildings. The number of market-rate apartments would decrease from 850 to 440. The project would also have one garage instead of two. The agreement means Keep Portland Livable will put a lawsuit against the project on hold while the new plan goes through the city's approval process. Cox says he hopes that will be finished early next year. Keep Portland Livable founder Tim Paradis says the group now supports the project.
