Here are the top stories in Madison today:

1. Two teenage girls were arrested following a mask dispute on a bus at the West Towne Mall Monday afternoon. Police said the 15-year-old and 17-year-old girls threatened the Metro Transit bus driver after he asked them to put on masks. After getting off the bus, the 15-year-old threw a shoe at the bus and kicked one of its windows, shattering it. Twenty officers responded to the call, one of whom suffered an injury that required being taken to a hospital. Both girls were arrested and charged for the incident. (Channel3000.com - WISC-TV3)
2. Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway and three Common Council members are looking to make it easier for Madison homeowners to build accessory dwelling units (ADUs). A new proposal would change ADUs from a conditional to a permitted use, allowing owners to avoid the usual lengthy approval process. This proposal would increase housing availability and variety among Madison's many single-family homes, giving residents more accessible housing options, said Councilmember Tag Evers.

3. For the 15th year in a row, Madison College culinary arts students and their instructors are cooking turkeys at the Truax campus to help the River Food Pantry with its upcoming Thanksgiving dinner distribution. (WKOW)
4. Madison police used pepper spray to break up a fight between students at East High School on Monday, with multiple ambulances responding to the scene for treatment. (WKOW)
5. The Madison Opera is back and "better than ever," according to a Channel3000 reporter who attended "Lucia Di Lammermoor," the opera's first production since before the pandemic. (Channel3000.com - WISC-TV3)
