Suicide attempt shuts down busy street





  LITTLETON, N.H. (AP) -- Authorities have shut down a block of downtown buildings in Littleton, New Hampshire after a woman rammed a building twice in a suicide attempt.
  
The business block was deemed unsafe Friday after part of the roof collapsed. Inpsectors aren't sure yet if the collapse was caused by the ramming incident two hours earlier.
  
Police say an officer saw a woman slam her car into the century-old building twice late Thursday night. Chief Paul Smith said the officer pulled his cruiser in the way to prevent her from hitting the building a third time.
  
Smith called it a suicide attempt.
  
The Littleton woman was not hurt. She was charged with drunken driving, reckless driving and driving with a suspended license.
