OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) — Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper is calling Wednesday's deadly shooting in Ottawa the second terrorist attack in three days. A masked gunman killed a soldier standing guard at Ottawa's war memorial, and then stormed Parliament. He was stopped cold when he was shot dead by a ceremonial sergeant-at-arms. In an attack on Monday, one soldier was killed and another was injured when a man described as an Islamic State-inspired terrorist ran them over in a parking lot in Quebec.
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The family of the second Dallas nurse to be infected with Ebola says doctors can no longer detect the virus in 29-year-old Amber Vinson's blood.

BOSTON (AP) — A new survey says colleges are still inconsistent in the way they handle athletes' concussions. The Harvard University study comes more than four years after the NCAA began requiring schools to educate their players about the risks of head trauma and develop plans to keep injured athletes off the field. Researchers looked at the responses of 907 of the NCAA's 1,066 members, and found that nearly one in five schools either don't have the required concussion management plan or have done a poor job in educating their staff about compliance.
CHICAGO (AP) — It's an additional 36-year prison sentence for a convicted bank robber who escaped from Chicago's high-rise Metropolitan Correction Center. In December 2012, Joseph Banks and an accomplice smashed a hole in a cell window and climbed down 20 stories using a rope fashioned from bed sheets. Banks was caught two days later on the city's North Side. The other escapee was captured two weeks later. Banks had escaped five days after he was convicted of robbing two banks and trying to rob two others in 2007 and 2008.
