St. Paul Police say a woman who was shot and killed in an alley Wednesday evening in the Lowertown neighborhood was the victim of random violence. The suspected shooter died Thursday in a confrontation with officers.

And an anonymous donor has agreed to match a $1.5 million grant to save Agate Housing and Services in downtown Minneapolis, which was set to close Oct. 9.
