Here are the top three stories today in Manchester:

1. On Sunday, Southern New Hampshire University hosted the fifth annual Walk For Hope to raise money for the Solinsky Center for Cancer Care at The Eliot. Funds raised through the 5K walk will go to support education, nutrition, transportation, and mental health programs. While the walk has ended, supporters are still eligible to donate to help fundraisers reach their goal of $85,000. (WMUR 9)
2. A New York man is facing seven charges in connection to a shooting that happened in Manchester over the weekend. Police say 26-year-old Gil Diaz shot the victim following an altercation that erupted over the exchange of a car seat. Diaz did not appear for his scheduled hearing Monday but has reserved his right to a bail hearing. (WMUR 9)
3. The Manchester Zoning Board of Adjustment has denied a rehearing request from a gas station developer. The developer sought to add a coffee shop drive-thru to the gas station under construction off Wellington Road. The board rejected the request on the grounds that the developer did not disprove the possibility of hazards to public health and safety as a result of the addition. (Yahoo! Entertainment)
