Two dead after two separate shootings in Southern Colorado


COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KKTV) – Law enforcement is investigating two separate shootings that took place Friday, one in Monument at a King Soopers, the other outside of Aqua Nightclub in Colorado Springs.

Colorado Springs Police say the victim in the nightclub shooting died in the hospital and they are working through a list of suspects. The El Paso County Sheriff’s Office is still looking for answers in the other shooting.

“According to the caller, a male walked up to a vehicle in the parking lot and opened fire on the vehicle,” Public Information Officer for the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office Kurt Smith said.

That is what deputies from the sheriff’s office say happened in the middle of the day in the parking lot of a King Soopers in Monument. Part of the grocery store’s parking lot turned into a crime scene for most of the day.

Deputies say one woman was found dead in the car and they believe she was the only one in the car at the time of the shooting.

That shooting happened ten hours after another deadly shooting in the parking lot of a Colorado Springs nightclub.

“We see a lot of crazies, a few crazies in the store all around. Yeah, this whole area is like that,” Iris Baylosis said. “I’ve been in the Springs nine years. Big difference from what I moved here till now, so yeah, I’ve seen a lot.”

Baylosis works near Aqua Nightclub near North Academy and Galley. Police say they believe the people involved in that shooting overnight knew each other. When they got on scene officers say it was clear a shooting took place but the victim was nowhere to be found.

After a short time on the scene, police say they got a call from the hospital saying the shooting victim drove himself there. 10 Minutes later, by the time officers arrived at the ER, the victim was dead.

“There’s too much people dying already. We don’t need that. We need peace,” Baylosis said.

Anyone who has information on the nightclub shooting incident is asked to contact CSPD at (719)-444-7000 or the Crimestoppers Tip Line at (719) 634-7867 to remain anonymous. Deputies are asking anyone with information on the King Soopers to call (719) 390-5555.

Air Force RB Owen Allen Shines in Double-Digit Win vs. Colorado State


Air Force running back Owen Allen dashed for 107 yards and two touchdowns, tight end Bruin Fleischmann caught both of his targets for 61 yards and two touchdowns, and Air Force took down Colorado State 42-21 on Friday to recapture the Ram-Falcon Trophy in the final game of the season for both teams.

The Falcons (4-8, 3-5 Mountain West) took the lead on the opening drive of the game as Fleischmann hauled in a 55-yard receiving score. Air Force scored on three of its four first-half drives, and only punted once throughout the game.

Josh Johnson completed all four of his passing attempts for 104 yards and two touchdowns, and added 22 yards and a score on the ground.

The Rams (2-10, 1-7) were led by Jackson Brousseau’s 323 yards and two touchdowns on 28-of-37 passing. It’s the first 10-loss season since 1988 for Colorado State, which is leaving the Mountain West to play in the Pac-12 next season.

Air Force holds the edge in the series, 40-22-1, and have won eight of the last nine meetings.

“Madsgiving” feeds thousands after Colorado community steps in to save event

“Madsgiving” feeds thousands after Colorado community steps in to save event


What looked nearly impossible just a few weeks ago became a Thanksgiving miracle in Aurora.

Madsgiving is the annual effort that prepares and delivers thousands of meals to people experiencing homelessness, seniors, and families in need. It was on the verge of collapse earlier this month. 

The longtime chefs who normally anchor the event were deployed to Jamaica to help rebuild kitchens damaged by Hurricane Melissa. Without them, organizers suddenly had no chefs and no kitchen just weeks before Thanksgiving.

Lead Pastor Dwayne Johnson of Mean Street Worship Center has helped distribute Madsgiving meals for seven years.

“At first, it started out as panic,” he said. “But then the community started coming together. Other agencies, ministries, and chefs came alongside us.”

One of the first to answer that call for help was Pesto Italiano, a new restaurant that opened in Englewood this summer. Chef Pablo had never cooked a Thanksgiving meal in his kitchen before – and certainly not at the scale Madsgiving requires.

“This was the first year we tried something like this,” he said. “We just opened in June. The first thing we wanted to do was help the community.”

Pesto Italiano donated their kitchen and their chefs, giving volunteers access to a full professional space to roast, prep, and assemble thousands of meals.

“With all the volunteers that came to help us, it was possible,” Pablo said. “We wanted to create something with love, passion, and quality – something people could enjoy the same way any family does on Thanksgiving.”

His team even improvised when dozens of turkeys arrived still on the bone and behind schedule. Pablo grilled and roasted them, finishing with a sauce of orange and rosemary. He even used pizza ovens to get the job done. 

Johnson says the scale of collaboration was unlike anything he’s seen.

The Amish community from southern Colorado also stepped in, preparing meals on Wednesday before Thanksgiving.

By midday Thursday, every group Madsgiving serves had been reached: people living in cars and under bridges, seniors in assisted living, nursing home residents, and people facing hunger across the city.

What started as a call for help became one of the largest Madsgiving efforts yet, powered by strangers, volunteers, churches, restaurants, and neighbors who refused to let the tradition die.

“To the world, you’re one person,” Johnson said. “But to one person, you become the world. Today, miracles happened.”

Here’s where Colorado’s gray wolves roamed in past month

Here’s where Colorado’s gray wolves roamed in past month


Colorado’s gray wolves stuck a little closer to central parts of the state in late October and November, roaming into watersheds that reach metro Denver and near tribal lands to the south, according to a map released Wednesday.

The monthly Colorado Parks and Wildlife map shows the broad movements of 20 gray wolves that wear GPS collars. If an area is highlighted, that means at least one wolf was in a watershed at least one time during the time frame, according to state officials.

Between Oct. 21 and Tuesday, gray wolves traveled in watersheds that reach as far north as the Wyoming state line; as far east as Boulder, Jefferson, Adams and Broomfield counties; the northern edge of Archuleta County to the south; and Meeker in Rio Blanco County to the west.

Most wolf activity appeared to take place around the Continental Divide, with wolf movement tracked near Walden, Granby, Vail, Aspen and Gunnison.

The wolves also explored near tribal lands to the south, Parks and Wildlife officials said. The state has an agreement with the Southern Ute tribe and is working to finish a similar agreement with the Ute Mountain Ute tribe to address potential impacts of wolf reintroduction.
