Confession in Norway :Shooting in Washington

WASHINGTON — Talks aimed at avoiding a government default have moved from the White House to Capitol Hill. President Barack Obama met with congressional leaders this morning, after which the White House said "Congress should refrain from playing reckless political games" and come up with a long-term plan to raise the debt ceiling. Republican lawmakers say House Speaker John Boehner hopes to have a framework before Asian stock markets begin their Monday sessions, but a meeting of congressional leaders this evening broke up with no progress reported.

A defense lawyer says the suspect in twin attacks that killed at least 92 people in Norway yesterday says his client has confessed. The lawyer is not commenting on Anders Breivik's (AHN'-durs BRAY'-vicks) motives. But the NTB news agency says the 32-year-old Norwegian wrote a 1,500 page manifesto before the attack in which he attacked multiculturalism and Muslim immigration.

Authorities say eight people have been injured in a shooting in Kent, Wash. It happened at a low rider car show at a shopping center. Police tell KOMO News that the shooting appear to be gang-related, while KING-TV reports police are looking for the shooter.
