HOUSTON (AP) — The Republican presidential candidates have wrapped up their final debate before Super Tuesday, and it was a brawl from the start. Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz tag-teamed Donald Trump, ripping his position on immigration, his privileged background and conservative credentials. The two-hour-plus debate featured rounds of insults and the candidates shouting over one another. Trump took a personal tack with Cruz, touting his own ability to get along with others and saying Cruz gets along with nobody.
HOUSTON (AP) — The Republican presidential candidates are weighing in on the court order directing Apple to help the FBI hack the iPhone of one of the San Bernardino shooters.

Ted Cruz says Apple should not have to produce a key to unlock every phone, just the one at issue.
HOUSTON (AP) — John Kasich and Ben Carson have distinguished themselves from their Republican rivals despite being ignored for long stretches in Thursday's presidential debate.

The retired neurosurgeon stood out briefly during the health care discussion, but at one point begged: "Can somebody attack me please?"
HESSTON, Kan. (AP) — The sheriff of Harvey County, Kansas, say an officer saved "multiple lives" when he shot and killed a gunman who went on a shooting rampage in the town of Hesston. Sheriff T.

He killed three people and wounded 14 before being shot dead by the officer.
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iranians are heading to the polls to vote in parliamentary elections. It's the first election since Iran's landmark nuclear deal with world powers last year. Reformists seeking greater democratic changes and moderates supporting President Hassan Rouhani (hah-SAHN' roh-HAH'-nee) are pitted against hard-liners who oppose the nuclear deal and openings with the West. Iranians are also voting for the Assembly of Experts. That's a clerical body empowered to choose or dismiss the country's supreme leader.
