Police sent an emergency alert around 8:10 p.m. Friday after two shots were fired in the area, the alarm said. The RCMP received a call for the shots at 6:55 p.m., Cpl. Chris Marshall told CBC News. He said he did not believe anyone was injured.

Emanuel Macron’s diplomatic efforts with Vladimir Putin certainly gave him a boost in opinion polls. But while he is still ahead, his lead has closed in recent weeks and now it is a very tight race. Instead, his biggest rival, Marin Lepen, has praised the former Russian president and taken partisan loans from a Russian bank. While it has sought to distance itself from these Russian connections during this campaign, it does not appear to have diminished its support for French voters....

The White House estimates that E15 sales could save consumers an average of 10 cents per gallon while reducing their dependence on foreign fuels. As part of Tuesday’s announcement, the EPA will also take steps to facilitate expanded use of biofuels, including a state approach and modifications to the E15 fuel pump label at gas stations across the country....
