Kanak Attack Labor + Grove Street Plans + Protecting Online

Good morning, Boise! Let's get this Friday started off right. Here's everything going on today in Boise.

The Boise Daily is ready for your weekend. A Boise man was sentenced to a "Rider" for strangling a woman after following her out of a bar. A rollover on Interstate 84 resulted in the death of a Boise man, and Kanak Attack is turning down business due to lack of staff. Grove Street could see major changes, and we provide some tips on your online accounts.

First, today's weather: Clear throughout the day. High: 99, low: 63.

Here are the top stories in Boise today:
