Good afternoon. We start the noon today with a story out of Frisco.
Police say a man barricaded inside a truck in a safeway parking lot is now in custody.
A spokesperson says this started just after seven this morning.
The man had claimed to have a weapons and refused to leave the truck.
The parking lot was closed as
were working to get the man out of that truck.
Police used tear gas about 30 minutes ago. They,
he got out and they arrested him.
Police say they'll get the parking lot,
the grocery store and the gas station and nearby roads open again soon.
We are working more to learn about the stand off as well as the suspect.
The family of a man who died while in
the custody of the Denver jail just filed a wrongful
death lawsuit against Denver health and several members of
the jail medical team in February of last year,
71 year old Leroy Taylor was in jail begging for medical attention several times.
He was found unresponsive in his bunk and then later died at the hospital.
The family's lawsuit claims medical staff at the
jail did not give Taylor proper medical care.
The lawsuit cites inmates and jail staff who claim
medical staff could have done more to save them.
Taylor tested positive for COVID-19 before he died but an
autopsy report says that he died of heart disease.
We've reached out to Denver Health for a comment haven't heard back at this point.
Of course, we will
as we learn more.
Also, if you are heading north on I 25 near Thornton definitely expect some delays.
A dump truck crashed and then rolled over there. You just saw it.
Police say two northbound lanes are closed between E 470
highway seven traffic is moving but it's pretty slow.
Thorton police say they're not sure when the highway will be fully reopened.
Taking a live look over Denver right now as we are in store for a beautiful day,
definitely cooler than what we've had in the last couple of weeks.
We're gonna head right over to Lauren Robinson.
And honestly, I feel like we've hit just like this beautiful weather here.
This like in the seventies, we've got the sun. I mean, you know, I'm loving it.
I agree.
It's actually been a beautiful couple of days yesterday and today,
even though we're technically below our seasonal average,
I still think it's beautiful and comfortable,
especially compared to the wet weather that will be moving in tomorrow.
And Friday right now, we have a live look over downtown Denver,
a little cloud cover there.
In the back, but a good mix of sun and clouds as we go through this afternoon,
we'll see that increasing cloud cover as we head into this evening right now,
though, 75 degrees at Dia, we have winds coming in from the northwest at around three
MPH. As we monitor our HD Doppler radar.
We do have some very spotty showers and storms starting to push their way
into central portions of the western slope
that's going to continue to move eastward,
but mostly stay across the high country.
Can't roll out a straight shower or two making its way into
the foothills and maybe into western portions of the front range.
But most of these showers and storms looking to stay further west today,
giving us a nice sunny dry day today as we move into the next couple of days,
we will see some late day storms tomorrow, more wet weather on Friday,
but I will have a beautiful football forecast out there for you.
So you'll certainly want to stay tuned.
All right. That is definitely welcome news. Thanks so much Lauren.
We do have new video showing
users at Bu theater escorting Republican congresswoman Lauren Bober out
of a performance of beetle juice over the weekend theater,
patrons were complaining about people vaping taking
pictures and then causing a disturbance.
An incident report shows Bober and the person she
was with were the subject of the complaints.
Audience members said they were vaping and singing
and then when asked to leave got argumentative,
Bober appeared to take a selfie as she was escorted out.
We sent Bober office several emails to ask about what happened.
We have not heard back at this point. But Bober did share on
about the incident on Tuesday saying I plead
guilty to laughing and singing too loud.
She went on to say that everyone should go see it and please let me know how it ends
happening later today.

Pennsylvania State.

Unfortunately, inflation has now jumped again,
especially when we look at energy and food costs.
The consumer price index measure costs costs across the board
of array of goods and services. That index is up 3.7% compared to a year ago.
Energy prices fed much of the gain of that increase.
That includes a 10.6% surge in gas prices. Food prices also went up.
There is some good news though that used car prices are down over 6% from last year.
The Fulton County District attorney is making another push to hold one trial
in October for all 19 defendants in the Georgia election subversion case.
We expect the judge in the case to issue a decision in the coming days.
The filing yesterday was a follow up to a hearing last week where
prosecutors were making arguments about trial
timing and keeping the case together.
Some of the defendants have already invoked their right to a speedy trial.
While others including former president,
Donald Trump are opposing the fast tracked timeline.
All of the defendants in the case have pleaded not guilty
after an investigation into alleged violations of the
Universities of Northern Colorado student code of conduct.
Their club hockey team has now been suspended through 2026.
The team posted on social media saying the
allegations were about underage drinking and hazing.
According to the university,
the team drank during official activities at the off campus house,
let underage players drink from a keg and then lied about it when
investigators asked the club says they don't
think the punishment fits their actions.
The team is planning to start a petition and appeal the suspension.
