A story we're following.
Overnight, Littleton police
shot and killed a suspect.
It happened just after 1:00
o'clock this morning on Bannock St.
just north of Littleton Blvd.
The suspect crashed on a motorcycle and
when the officer tried to approach him,
the suspect got up,
ran off and took out a gun.
And officer shot the suspect and
he later died at the hospital.
That officer involved was not hurt.
This morning 86 people living in
an apartment off of S Parker Rd.
Are displaced due to a fire
we first brought you.
This is breaking news.
Yesterday morning,
9 news reporter Lisa Irizarri
continues our coverage.
At this hour and julisa,
we're now learning more
about those who live inside.
Yeah, Cory and Jordan.
It was Omen cross,
the man we interviewed yesterday morning
that sent me a text message later in
the day letting us know he was told
his apartment is not safe to live in.
Cross says he moved into his apartment in
August with the help of a housing voucher.
Before that, he lived in his
car on and off for a decade.
Now he's once again forced
to find a place to stay,
along with dozens of others.
Investigators say it was a
kitchen fire started by accident,
while cross is thankful he was
able to make it out.
With his pet cat,
he says now he's homeless once again.
To have gone from being on the streets
and being that level of desperate,
miserable, sad, depressed,
whatever you want to call it.
And then finally finding that hope
and and moving into a place all
my own for the first time in most
of a decade and finally reaching
that point where I should be happy.
And then now it's all gone.
Now I'm here in the car,
but it's broke so I can't go anywhere.
The Red Cross is helping out
with those who are displaced.
We should add. There was another
fire at this complex in November.
South Metro Fire says the two are unrelated,
but Omen Cross did tell me
yesterday that the those that
were impacted about that initial
fire still are not in their homes.
So I was worried it might
be awhile for him as well.
Your heart just breaks for people
like the man you were talking
to in that interview yesterday.
I mean, just one bad thing after another.
You hate this for them.
And and being out there you saw
the looks on their faces, right?
It's just, you know,
starting from scratch and.
Figuring out what you can salvage,
how much damage is done, if it's just
simply smoke or water damage or what,
it's hard to think about that, right?
And knowing our homes, our homes,
we feel safe in them. So.
And how long this is gonna take, you know,
I mean, that's gotta be tough too.
Exactly. It's that the,
the unforeseeable future.
Like I said, I think that last
fire happened in November and
they're still not in their home.
So think about that now.
That's tough. Yeah.
Lisa, thank you. Well, new this morning,
Colorado Senator Michael Bennett
is joining the push to get rid of
TikTok here in the US. Unlike some
who want to outright ban it,
in a new letter out just two hours ago,
Bennett is calling for a new approach,
phasing it out and stopping
updates and bug fixes to the app.
The letter was sent to the
CEO of Apple and Google.
If the phase were to be successful overtime,
TikTok would just stop
working on people's phones.
Bennett joins a growing list of lawmakers
who want to ban or limit tick tock.
They say they're concerned about
how the apps parent company
in China handles security.
Last month,
Colorado Congressman Ken Buck introduced
a bill to Ban TikTok and President Biden.
Already signed a law banning
it from some government phones.
Also developing this morning,
an Amazon warehouse in Green Valley
Ranch is in trouble with the federal
government because inspectors found
the setup inside can hurt people.
OSHA is investigating several Amazon
facilities across the country.
They found problems at the
warehouse in Green Valley Ranch.
After watching video of people working
and doing interviews with employees.
OSHA found the physical setup
combined with pressures for speed
meant workers get hurt too often.
OSHA is telling Amazon to minimize
how much workers have to lift.
And to lower conveyor belts,
the agency also wants to find
the company $15,000.
A live look right now at Boulder,
just about less than half an hour actually.
This is Mile High stadium from OK,
now we got boulder.
Is that that's not boulder either.
It's somewhere here in Colorado.
Isn't it beautiful?
All right, just about less than half an
hour away from Flatiron Freddy sharing
his prediction for spring this morning.
We're also talking about a popular
name in Boulder right now.
Coach Prime was busy for National
Signing Day getting his team ready.
And with Coach Prime comes
some pretty unique experiences,
like having little Wayne
toward your facilities.
Yesterday, Coach gave the rapper a
personal tour around the grounds,
and our earlier studio got an exclusive
chance to talk to him about it.
How can they elevate this brand?
I
think it has been, and I think
it's going to continue to elevate.
But winning accelerates that.
Hope incites that,
and love makes it all feel good.
She had a really great interview with
Coach Prime yesterday, so check out
the whole thing if you can.
There are a lot of fun Nuggets
