Here are the top stories today in Boise:

1. A Boise man shot by Boise Police has died from his injuries. In a story by the Associated Press and carried by U.S. News & World Report, officials are not releasing the man's name until next of kin are notified. Police first interacted with the man after receiving reports of him threatening suicide by jumping off an overpass. (U.S. News & World Report)
2. Longfellow Elementary School in Boise played host to Idaho governor candidate Ammon Bundy this past Halloween-in a way.
