officers opened fire on a wanted suspect. the suspect wasn't hit. he was taken into custody, though chl police have not released his name or even told us what crimes he may be connected to. this morning, we are hearing from the family of a suicidal man killed in a shootout with sheriff deputies on friday. the man has been identified as randy. his family says they are praying for those impacted by the event. frms meanwhile, dan remai there's now a go fund me page set up for his family. so far, they have raised more than $29,000. that is six times their ornlal goal. find a link to the go fund me page on our free denver 7 app. four minutes after 6:00. we have learned that lightning sparked that fire, the starwood fire, the one burning north of fort collins. the fire grown to 350 acres now. it is now 35% contained. about 120 firefighters on scene.

this fire. a group of people from south denver contacted us. they wanted some help. they say drag racers are turning the neighborhood into a racetrack, and they want to know what denver police are going to do to solve this. denver 7's jason live for us along federal this morning. jason, people are worried for their safety essentially. >> yeah, they are. that's because one, if you want proof this is happening, all you have to do is look at this empty parking lot, all the burnout marks and things like that. the reason that you mention that neighborar is they don't stay in his parking lot. think go off and in many cases shoot off into the neighborhood blowing through street signs, stoplights, stop signs, and in one case, crashing into a woman's fence. eileen darton was the person who reached out to us here saying this is such a big problem. that's because on ssnday, she says a dodge durango sped through her neighborhood, right past a stop sign, up onto her lawn, into her chain link fence, knocking it down, and then just

just in the neighborhood's off of south federal, wwst arkansas, those other streets like that, we're talking about the smell of burnt rubber all weekknd, the noise of cars burning out, and then the danger of them zipping up and down the streets, in some cases, going as fast as a hundred miles per hour here. now, we've heard about this problem on the highways before and how difficult it is to -- to maintain or to real ie kind of crack down on. we reached out to denver police. neighbors say they called them each and what's actually being done. police department says they are aware of this issue, and that they are trying to crack down on it through -- throughout or across the city, but it is difficult to deal with. they didn't give us any specifics, as you can imagine, that cars would scatter and cars just driving really fast. pretty difficult to real ie lock down 150 cars, all burning out in one parking lot and then taking off. so, again, no specifics from denver police. neighbors are concerned that the

to be much more than a fence. we are talking about the children that play in the neighborhood or of course the drivers themselves. reporting live along south federal, jason, denver 7. 6:07 now. looks like the city of denver is ready to resign a contract for red light cameras. these have been a big topic of debate in all sorts of cities, but because even with all that talk, believe it or not, cameras are only at four denver intersections. >> the city is now hoping to sign a five-year contract with the camera company. the cameras have brought in $40 million 2010. while this may result in more cameras, don't expect to see a cameraen every corner. every expansion would be, qte, measured. later this morning, a boulder district court judge will decide if boulder's sugary drink tax will be on the november ballot. a hearing is set for 9:00 this morning. the tax would be two cents per ounce on soda, energy drinks and similar befrms. today's debate centers around a technicality.

northbound i-25, just after 104th. you can see the flashing lights back in here. a rollover crash, and all lanes are temporarily blocked. all the traffic held back behind that accident. southbound getting a good look at it. the express lanes are open as folks are cruising through there pret day fast. right now, temporarily,

two huge traffic issues for us right now. we are going to start with this rollover crash on i-25 after 104th a. that white pickup truck there, this's the one that rolled over. debro is spread out awe cross the highway. northbound police have all lanes blocked, at least for right now. you see police here, here, and also the emergency eeuipment here on the right side of the highway. all traffic is being held back from just after 104th, and it

back to 84th avenue. they might allow some of the traffic to get through, but for at least right now, they are holding all northbound traffic. southbound traffic is getting through as well, but obviously that is getting a good eyeful of it on the other side of the highway. now, take a look from just a moment ago, air tracker 7 when they were over this accident on the westbound side of i-70 right there by havana. we only have one lane opened at this accident right now. that traffic jam goes all the way back to now pena boupd side of 225. double trouble with two huge monster accidents causing extensive delays. we'll keep you posted on this all morning long, of course. we are keeping an eye on news around the world. following a developing situation outside buckingham palaae where a helicopter -- a medical helicopter landed, alarming people on the ground. area also responding to on the buckingham pallce, the queen's residence, of course. now, at this point, it's not

responded, but there are reports that there was some kind of accident, and there was an injured person who needed to be treated and lifted to a hospital. we'll keep you updated, of course; if we learn any more about this. ? i met all my best of friends in baton rouge ? ? >> some of music's top names were in baton rouge last night. they were helping to raise money for the red cross's louisiana flood relief fund. >> the flooding happened a month ago. more than 60 thousand damaged. 13 people were killed in this. the red cross says the damage is the worst to hit the u.s. since superstorm sandy back in 2012. if you are interested in donating, find a link link. frms this morning, hermine could bring strong winds and flooding to southern new england. a tropical storm warning remains in effect this morning. this is from new york's long island to massachusetts. coastal areas could see wind gusts of 60 miles an hour. >> they are just hoping for that

it's gone all the way up the east coast messing with people. >> good news is the storm itself is weakening, but unfortunately, the flooding and the winds, that'll really pose the threat today. let's take a look at it on the map right now. as you can see, the storm itself is kind of just done a little bit hook back around. that's what's brought the east coast a lot of that inclement weather and flooding. here in colorado, we've seen very dry conditions this labor day weekend. mostly dry. we did see severe storms saturday and sunday. mostly on the eastern plains, but really the story t we're looking at is a threat for fire danger across the western slope. very warm conditions and also gusty winds and low humidity. those are catalysts for potential fires. now, our severe weather outlook for today does encompass much of the front range over across the northeastern plains down to the southeast. we have the chance in the forecast for seeing some moisture. going through our future cast, this is your first alert that mostly cloudy, also foggy

the metro area drizzle here and there as a cold front that'll move through the state. not much in the way of measurable rain fall, but as you can see as we head throughout the morning and afternoon, we will see some gradual cleerg so the sun will make an appearance later on this amp. cloud wills then increase. better chance for seeing afternoon and evening thunderstorms, mainly across the northeastern plains, the strongest of which could roll through akron, sterling, and set. overnight, mostly cloudy. range, about ten degrees cooler than whht we saw this last week end. highs for today only in the upper 70s in boulder. 76 in evergreen. ?2 is our expected high in denver with the upper 70s across the plains. slightly different story to the west as we hiil have that fire danger. mid 70s for akron as well as in gunnison. lamar still seeing the mid 90s down to the south in places like pueblo and la hunta. highs elsewhere for the front

80s, upper 70s. greeley expecting a high near 79 degrees. we have that chance to -- of storms in the forecast. 53 our overnight low. 85 is our expected high, then we'll continue to see some warm conditions for thursday, for broncos home opener. 87 is our expected high for that day. mostly sunny conditions, though, as we roll throughout the rest of the week into the weekend. little bit cooler on friday. that's our bright spot. upper 70s to low 80s. this morning, new information about the shooting at the colorado state fair. the pueblo county sheriff's office tells us they are looking for a vehicle of interest. it's a two-tone chrysler 300 they are keeping an eye out for. they have not released any details about a possible uspect yet. investigators are looking into whether this was gang related. this video may make you a little angry. a burglar pends more than two hours. you can see him right there he is stealing equipment from this truck. this is down in castle rock.

inside the house. this is just one case, but the douglas county sheriff's office says since july, they've seen an increase in calls for break ins and burglaries. this is in castle rock, and highlands ranch. >> that's, u guess, the price you pay with big population growth and, you know, probably be putting flood lights and stuff like that around the house now. >> if you recognize the man, you can see him right there. call police, and don't forget, lock your doors overn neighborhood. an elementary school playground is set on fire while% kids were playing there. this happened sunday afternoon in kansas city. witnesses say they saw a group of boulder kids running away from the scene. the fire caused about $50,000 worth of damage to the playground. no one hurt, thankfully. take a look at this. a woman in florida trying to get revenge or her ex-boyfriend by setting his car on fire. the problem is that's not the boyfriend's car. oops! she wound upsetting someone

like his. the victim says he's neeer seen the woman before and has no idea who she is. she is now facing arson charges. four months ago, the el paso county sheriff was charged with kidnapping, extortion, and he's back in court this morning. whattyou can expect when he faces a judge. we have all kinds of problems in the traffic world. not only do we have a closure of northbound i-25 for a rollover crash, actual lu tucked right behind that wall right there where you see the police cars. we are going to closure of i-25 after 104th for the rest of the morning. we also have, now due to maintenance, mineral on the d line down along south santa fe, the bus shuttle going to be running between mineral and englewood because of a closure of the light rail down there. then also a huge accident out to the east side of town at havvna. that's where daryl is right now. he's going to have the latest here right now. >> yeah, jason, in the last 20

8-car accident here at havana and i-70 on the westbound side. they've got two lanes open right now. police have flairs spread out along so the inner side lane against the barrier is bbocked off. we heard maybe one person may have been transported to the hospital. there was one subuuban here that looks like it's got heavy front-end damage. most of these cars air bags were deployed so traffic is backed up as far as we can see back to the east headed westbound. so if you are headed this way, a good alternate taking 45th avenue, which is just about a block to our north here. that's how we got in here. very, very short commute to get around this mmz here, also. also, we are hearing about the accident you just spoke of at 104th avenue to the north there. that rollover accident. we're hearing this may be a possible fatal there. you can expect huge, huge delays if you are headed northbound on 25 this morning. as soon as we get more information out here along i-7 o 0 and havana, we're going to

as a school superintendent, i saw how unnecessary regulations from washington made it more difficult for teachers and principals. and as a dad, i know we must empower those who spend every day with our kids. that's why i worked with republicans and democrats to replace the no child left behind law and increase local control of schools. i'm michael bennet. i approve this message because i believe parents and our communities

at 6:25, we have traffic catastrophes. this s the northbound side of i-25. right after 104th avenue. you can see police and emergency response for this stent. this is the rollover crash here. it sounds extremely serious on the northbound side f oi-25. -?i think it's going to be closd down for several hours here. they are closing it down at 104th. trying to divert traffic. they will allow some of this traffic trapped in here to get through, but for at least the moment, everybody is stuck on the highway, the it's also slow in the area. take a look at the picture from the other problem spot on i-70 out to the east. a couple lanes are blocked. two lanes are open. westbound i-70 here at havana. that's going to be restricting traffic back to before pena boulevard and northbound 225 coming up from around colfax. i'll show you the two areas and how to get around it. we can go off the highway from 104th avenue and use either washington, huron. the farther away you get, the

to 120th and back on toothe interstate. i-70. 47 peoria, a new accident there clogging up one of the alternate routes. even colfax is going to be a using i-70 out there.instead of this is not insignificant that we have the light rail closed down between the mineral station and englewood. it's all closed down for a maintenance problem here this morning so they are usi a bus bridge to get people from englewood to mineral station then the train is running from there to downtown. we are having some extreme delays here on our n system this morning. >> thank you so much for the update. we are starting off the day on a pretty overcast note. pockets of drizzle are possible across the metro area. temperatures pretty mild right now. 62 degrees at city park. now at 60 degrees.ulder right%- we are going to be see ago cold front making its way into the state. this is usherrng in the better chance for moisture awe cross the eastern half 06 colorado, but today we also have fire danger in effect for the western

for today. temperatures a lot cooler in the upper 70s to low 80s. well, the jonbenet murder case is back in the spotlight this morning. -?there's a new documentary thas out there that claims to reveal more details about this cold case. plus, a fight over water

(vo) we went to hollywood to ask if america's favorites - burgers, tacos and chili could taste just as great made with turkey. thousands stepped into the jennie-o tasting booth to find out.

it's 6:30. we have breaaing news in the traffic world. numerous problems. let me get to and i-25 from air tracker 7. what you are looking at are drivers that have been turned around on the ramp that should come from 104th avenue to go onto northbound i-25. they are turning around the drivers because northbound i-25 right now, it's cloeed for a roll jrn over crash after 104th avenue. so we are trying to get the traffic all off onto that ramp. that's what we are doing, the vehicles that areetrapped right now. it's going to be closed for some time because it's possibly a

let me take you on the map and show you good ways to get around it, including washington, huron, pecos just a little bit, and federal just a little bit to the west and even to the east colorado boulevard up to 120th avenue and back over to the interstate. the other huge problem is over here on the east side. it's going to be on westbound i-70 right here at havana. there is a nasty accident blocking several lanes. daryl is there now. he's been watching the accident from the ground level. daryl, how many lanes are blocked now? >> yeah, jason, right seems like just one lane is blocked headed westbound here at havana and i-70. traffic is moving about ten miles an hour here. one tow truck is on scene, but they are going to need a lot more tow trucks. we are also hearing one american may have some injuries here . they've been transported to the hospital. police have flares out, and they're trying to get the

lanes down to two. it's creating quite a traffic backup. earlier i said, you know, exit off peoria, go north to 45th avenue and come back to the west. bad idea because now there's an accident right there at 47th avenue and peoria, which is really snarling traffic out on quite a mess out here this morning. guys. >> yeah. i would suggest using maybe over there on that side, i would suggest even using colfax as northbound 225 is all jammed up. i-70 is backed up all the way then there is al huge closure part of the light rail, the d line down between englewood and mineral. it is running, the train is, from englewood to downtown. what to do, i'm here for the child. she's not breathing. speaking out in a new documentary. this coming christmas will mark 20 years since the girl was found dead in her family's boulder home. >> a lot of people are talking about this today.

new information there. >> that's right. the documentary exposes holes in med yoo reports. reviews accusations that john and pat si ramsey were responsible for their daughter's death. a never before seen report looks at tna evidence from blood found on jonbenet's panties that didn't mmtch anyone in the family. the film says boulder police ignored the evidence for seven months before passing it off to the da. another investigation found 200 pieces of away from jonbenet's parents, despite reports that painted the two as ed suspects. >> the da's office was so department for what they felt,- quote, was botching the case, that it was a very difficult situation to repair. >> the 200 pieces of evidence included the fact that an intruder could have easily entered the house, that there were probably plans to take jonbenet out of the house in a

complete lud contradicted police theorys about her parents. just last week, the bould police department released a new video promising justice for jonbenet. denver 7. live in the news room, it is 6:34. cooler air is moving into that'll drop temperatures really also usher in some warm moisture for the state. unfortunately out to the wes, we do still have a red flag warning into the mown tauns and mountain valleys. be awear we'll see gusty winds. we do have the risk for also seeing storms and showers this afternoon encompassing the front range. the northeastern plains. right now, we are waking up to a temperature of 62 out at dia. mumdty at 80%. overcast skies and winds right now from the north-northeast at 13 miles per hour. take a look at our high temperatures for today. a lot cooler than what we saw over this past labor day weekend. temperatures only in the lower

we ddn't have it. the memorial day tradition was moved to labor day this year because of the rising water levels ww had in the spring. the water levels are down. typical this time of year. we hope that doesn't mess up our fire season, which is still raging on. >> yes. frms some dogs ended up in the pool in lafayette chl chance to go out there to wrap up the summer as the pool was closing down. got to go out there for a swim. they didn't let the people in afterwarz. they just closed the pool down after the dogs cooled off. back on the field this thursday, and that means the rematcc of cam newton. hear what von miller has to say about the panthers quarterback. and a mother speaks exclusively to denver 7. her son was killed by police last week, and she was the one who called 911. now, she's demanding answers. as we head to break, we are going to give you a live look at breaking news we've been the interstate is closed down-

we're northbound i-25. what you' seeing here, some of the folks trapped behind the rollover crash that has closed down i-25 at 104th avenue. these folks, these drivers are allowed to get past the sdevent, continue northbound, but all traveng has stopped now. all traffic off the interstate at 104th avenue. they just allow some fok es to get past this rollover crash. the other trouble spot, i-70, wus boend. we have a laae blocked, left lane still blocked with a multicar accident. the traffic jam is tremendous out here. take a look at the map. ?et me show you this traffic accident. look at the delays. northbound 225 from now almeda. that's horrible on 2 that.

the light rail from the d line because it's closed down between mineral and englewood chl the train is running from englewood to downtown for at least right now. another which i think to watch out for. patchy morning fog. we are going to be seeing overcast conditions through much of the morning. will see some sunshine by this amp, but with that will come the chance for a few showers and storms. here is our 24-hour plannerment today a lot cooler across the up to the upper 70s to low degrees. this is pretty average for this time of the year. highs today elsewhere across the state, still say in the mid to upper 80s awe cross the western slope. fire danger is possible really through the mountains then as we head over to the northeast, we do have the chance for seeing ?tronger storms. i'll show you future cast coming up in just a bit. 6:42 now. what parts a free frappe? dairy queen is giving out free drinks. >> this is going to happen this

all across the metro area. right now at 6:42. as we head to break, we want to give you a live look. northbound i-25, this is right there after 104th. >> few people are getting through. most are not. so i-25 northbound at 104th closed. you need to find a different way around this.

we continue to follow three breaking traffic news issues here this morning. what looking at is i-25. here. you are seeing some vehicles get through this closure of northbound i-25. what the between 104th and where the accident is so they are going to clear that cue then keep the ?ighway closed for the rollover crash that actually sits over here behind the wall that we can't see. i'll keep you posted on when everything reopens, which could be several hours. traffic is already backed up now to 84th avenue. so the south rides can help get the other huge traffic jam is over here to the east side of

i-70 barely moving all theay to havana. basically mississippi all the way up to i-70 is also barely moving. daryl is at that crash scene. we still have a couple lanes there, or at least one lane blocked there on westbound i-70. >> yeah. that's right, jason. touch base real quick on that 104th accident. we have gotten police confirmation that that is is fatal accident so that one lane is open, and they are going to be able to get through here. on different story over here havana and i-70, multiple vehicle crash that all collided, rear ended each other here with air bag deployment on every single vehicle. the majority of these vehicles are on tow trucks rooith now. taking a look at the scene here. one, two, three cars still on scene. we're estimating probably another maybe 15, 20 minute before they get this all cleaned up. take a look back behind me here. i-70 coming westbound right before havana is backed up all the way from pena boulevard.
