9 News Mornings starts now
and taking a live look over downtown Denver,
you can see very cloudy,
still very wet roads,
including I-25 where we are seeing a
little bit of traffic this morning.
Certainly a little wet after those
storms overnight, and it's what
many parts of Colorado have been
experiencing for the past couple of days.
Rob from Castle Pines sent in this video
of hail falling on his back porch.
As you can see,
it was falling pretty hard.
Yeah, a lot of people are experiencing this.
And if you get enough time,
that hail starts look like
snow on your back lawn.
Yeah. Ed Green is joining us now.
And add more storms today. Yeah.
In fact, we are seeing them right
now on this. A satellite and radar.
Let's take a look.
These are the storms that we saw yesterday
that have moved out of the state.
They pushed up and they're
going on into Nebraska.
And now here comes another
line of storms right behind it.
And look at this.
We get a little break and now here
come the storms. And we've right.
Back into the metro area.
So yes, you'll be going to
work splashing all the way.
So we do see these showers and
thunderstorm by 10:00 or 11:00.
O'clock and they could get severe.
Once again,
snow at the higher elevations tomorrow
we see that rain continuing and then
by Friday afternoon we're right on
the break of the rain and snow for
the mountains and the cloudy skies out here.
And by Saturday morning we might even
start the day with a little sunshine.
So as we take a look at today,
right now we're at 48 degrees.
We've got some sprinkles going around here.
We'll get to 59 degrees today with
showers and storms, some being heavy,
63 for Friday with a chance.
For showers and storms Saturday chance.
For late day storms,
Mother's Day, 57 degrees.
Chance for those showers and storms
63 on Monday and maybe by Tuesday.
Less chance for storms.
Little warmer where it's 72 degrees.
Well, Courtney Hoon is out
and about in all this rain.
And Courtney,
what are you seeing right now?
I know it's probably raining again.
Hey Ed. Yeah, it is raining.
It's drizzling a little bit,
kind of off and on right now.
It was heavier when we were going.
When we're on 25.
Now we're on South Chambers Rd.
headed towards the Southlands area
where we saw some hail damage yesterday.
But I'm going to let you
guys look at the roads here.
It's pretty drizzly.
It's honestly like literally just let up
within the last couple of minutes here,
but the roads are kind of slick this morning,
so definitely be careful.
Not as bad as the commute was
coming home from work yesterday,
but definitely still some slick
spots here and some low lying.
Areas with some flooding.
Yesterday's storm started sweeping
through the southern metro area
around 2:00 or 3:00 PM and eventually
made their way to the Aurora area,
which is where we're headed now.
Neighbors told us they got damage
to their homes from hail and
had to clean up glass.
Things like shattered windows
and damaged siding and shutters.
Some people got caught in the hail
yesterday on their commute home from work.
The hail is all melted now,
but at the time some of the neighbors told
us that they had a golf ball sized hail,
ping pong sized hail.
Luckily it seems like.
None of those hailstorms lasted very long,
just a couple of minutes.
But still people dealing with the
aftermath of that this morning.
And we're headed out that way to
see what we can see if we can see
damage and maybe talk to some people.
And we're going to toss it over to Erica,
who's going to tell us about the
traffic attack this morning.
Good morning,
Erica.
Courtney, good morning.
Yeah, right now I'm seeing
exactly what you're seeing,
just a wet roads out here.
Volume extremely light at
this hour of the morning.
This is I-70 and 270.
As we look live from see that we're again
certainly seeing the rain coming down,
but no major volume or issues,
delays or crashes to report.
You're looking at an 8 minute drive on I-70,
both ways between I-25 and 225.
Big picture,
really seeing lots and lots of green.
Looks like we're dealing with a new
crash right around I-25 and Hampden.
We'll get a closer look at that coming up,
but as far as 225 goes between I-70 and I25,
you're looking.
At an 11 minute commute,
there no issues traveling into
Commerce City on 76 Westbound.
And don't forget,
if you're heading out the door,
you can take our weather coverage with you.

A developing story out of Denver,
five people were shot at an
apartment complex overnight.
9 News reporter Brianna Fernandez
joins us live at the complex near
Hampton and Dayton this morning.
Brianna, what do we know so far?
Hey, good morning, Corey.
Yeah, Denver Police Department
tell us five people were shot,
three of them were taken to
the hospital by ambulance and
the other two took themselves.
And I want to show you video from the
scene last night when our crews arrived.
It was a very active scene.
We know police got a call just before
9:00 last night to this apartment
complex on Gerard and Dayton St.
that's just a few miles east
of I70I-25 in Hampton.
Now, this is still an ongoing investigation,
so there's a very limited
information about what exactly
happened inside of the apartment.
But what we do know is that one
man is in critical condition.
The others had injuries that
were non life threatening.
Police did say that they don't know if
the suspect or victims knew each other,
and right now they don't have
anyone in custody.
So we are still looking.
I don't have anybody under
arrest at this point.
We do have witnesses that are being
interviewed and will continue to
further this investigation and
and provide updates as we're able.
Yeah, very limited information right now,
but Denver police did say that it
all happened inside of the apartment,
the apartment here in the shooting.
But there's also evidence
outside of the apartment.
Now we are pushing Denver police for more
answers about what exactly happened here.
Once we get more information,
we'll definitely keep you updated.
But if you have any information,
you're asked to call Crime Stoppers.
That number's on the bottom of your screen.
You're eligible to for a reward,
and you can remain anonymous.
Corey. Yeah,
720913 stops. Still a lot of
questions here, Brianna. Thank you.
Well, Title 42, the COVID era
restriction that allowed the US to
turn away migrants at the border,
expires at 11:59 Eastern Time. Tonight. It's
at end. It's expected to mark the
beginning of the latest surge of
people crossing the US Mexico border.
NBC's Bree Jackson has more
The day has come when Title 42 comes
to an end. The mayor of El Paso,
TX tells me his border city is ready.
We've been prepared for the
unknown and we should know what
the unknown is because we don't.
We don't know what will be coming.
Migrant crossings are expected
to surge when the COVID ERA
policy lifts late Thursday night.
In preparation,
the Texas National Guard is upping
its presence at hotspots along the
southern border and deploying A
specialized unit trained in riot control.
So this team is here to prevent,
deter and, if necessary, interdict.
Illegal activities. The
Biden administration's plan includes
encouraging migrants to apply for legal
pathways to enter the US The purpose?
What we're doing now is making legal
immigration more streamlined and sending
1500 additional troops to help Border
Patrol process paperwork. Our plan
will deliver results.
But it will take time for those
results to be fully realized
while also warning of tougher consequences
for those who cross illegally. Do not risk
your life and your life savings
only to be removed from the United States.
As more migrants make the journey to the
border, the US is bracing for chaotic and
challenging times ahead in El Paso, TX.
Bree Jackson, NBC News. Here in
Denver, the city has been trying to handle
the influx of migrants coming in daily.
286 arrived just yesterday.
Here's a little bit more about the
process that migrants go through
entering an intake center so people
wait in line to finally get to the front
where someone from the city helps them.
They are asked if they want to stay or go,
and whether they had gone through a
port of entry. Depending on the answer,
they are either helped with a bus
ticket or directed to go to a shelter.
We were able to talk to one couple
who says they waited for more than
a day and a half to get processed.
Gracia, Yeah, yeah.
Monty, Maz.
Endo, Feli, OK,
I met in the air on the million on
Manigata it Toya Canal process.
Now that couple wants to stay here
in Denver so they are directed to a
local shelter and say even though
they were only given a two week stay.
They say they are grateful just
to get in and will work for jobs
with the time they have.
