Here are the top three stories in Manchester today:

1. Manchester resident Robert Gagnon, 45, was recently arrested and charged with attempted murder for the shooting of 44-year-old Carlos Quintong. The Brookline shooting is believed to be connected to another recent shooting in Lyndeborough where 83-year-old Robert Prest was killed. The investigation is ongoing and multiple police departments, including the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office, are working on the case. (Manchester Ink Link)
2. Yesterday morning, freezing rain weather conditions caused vehicle crashes in the Manchester area. Exit 9 was closed on Interstate 89 north because of the weather, in addition to other closures in the Sutton area on the same highway. Police reminded drivers to remain careful and aware when driving in these types of winter weather conditions. (WMUR 9)
