I dont think so. 9wants to know looks into what schools are doing to prepare for a day everyone hopes will never happen. Closing in on a decision for Peyton Manning, what the broncos are doing while he decides his next move. 9news starts now. The foothills are taking the brunt of the snow thats starting to fall along the front range tonight. Traction laws are in place from golden all the way to the eisenhower tunnel. Roads are snow covered and slick. Boulder was the first city in the metro area to go on accident alert because of tonights snow. Weve seen a little more than a dusting there. Most of it is just sticking on the grass and melting for the most part on the streets, although we have seen some highways where the snow is adding up. In denver it has primarily been a slushy mix of rain and snow tonight, nothing significant yet downtown, although it should all be changing over to snow soon enough. Weve seen the past couple weeks. In the first two days of the month denver did see more than 11inch of snow, but it dried up and 11 inches of snow, but it dried up and warmed up quick. Tonight snow is back. The question is what will it do to the morning commute . Kathy is in the Weather Center tracking tonights snow. The good news is its a fast moving system. Its not a really cold system. Were hovering right around the freezing mark, so weve had a lot of melting in the downtown area, getting reports of a light dusting in Douglas County around parker and pond prose a park in elizabeth Ponderosa Park in elizabeth, up to 4 inches of snow in the foothills. Two little cold air surges are moving across the area tonight and as this latest front drops southward, well see the snow pick up between midnight and 4 a. M. In the high country a Winter Weather advisory out for over a 1 2 foot of snow. Travel conditions will be much more difficult across the foothills and in and out of the mountains. In the city youll see 1 to 3 city for the morning drive. Allow for extra time. Areas west and south may see just a bit more, but the system winds down midmorning and sunshine by afternoon. Not a warm day coming up by any stretch as we start off tomorrow morning with temperatures in the mid20s. Well be hard pressed to get above our seasonal average of 47. Overnight snow, well talk much more about that in our main w segment, detail that weather segment, detail that morning drive and how about a midweek warming trend with 60s in the planning forecast . See you in a bit. Alert. Earlier there was a serious stop. It was a hit and run near the cu cancer. Campus. The incident should down hour.

A Denver Police officer is after being shot in the leg while going after a burglary suspect today in the highlands. 9news reporter whitney wild is learning more about this officer tonight and she is expected to recover from those injuries. Reporter kyle, 9news has learned that the officer involved here is rachel ivan in fair condition at last report. This started about 1 30 this afternoon and spanned several blocks in a busy area of the highlands. In a matter of seconds Denver Police officer rachel eide went from chasing a burglary suspect to becoming a victim herself. Okay. 82 adam ive been shot. Southbound on lowell, shots fired. Reporter the first call for a burglary in progress at 37th and grove came in around 1 25 p. M. The suspect took off making it to 30th and lowell and the officer and the suspect got into a shootout. Police say the suspect carjacked a woman driving to control of the car. Denver officers descended on him igniting a second gunfight. I thought i was in a safe neighborhood, i guess. Reporter this woman was working at home when she heard it all. I opened my front door. I heard about seven to nine shots. So i ducked back into my home and waited for the shooting to stop. Reporter the suspect was pronounced dead at the scene. Another suspect was arrested right away. Eide joined dpd in 2014 after leaving another Law Enforcement agency. Sometimes when we meet people it, is the worst day of their lives. Reporter since then shes been featured in the departments videos on youtube. Got you, buddy. You got to actually found some justice here. You wouldnt even have to pay me to do this job some days. Reporter a work ethic the chief talked about today in a press briefing this afternoon. We understand the officers family has been notified about whats going on. It sure hits home when you see the officer on the job doing her duty. A verdict could come as early as tomorrow in the case shes on trial for attempted first degree murder in boulder for the attack on a pregnant woman last march. Michelle wilkins survived. Her unborn baby did not. The jury deliberated six hours today before going home. In closing arguments the prosecution tried to hammer home the point that lane intended to kill wilkins. Without intent the jury could convict lane of attempted manslaughter instead of attempted murder. Lanes defense insists she did not intend to kill wilkins. Prosecutors say the man accused of killing six people and wounding two during a random shooting spree this weekend in michigan admitted doing it. On saturday eight people were shot in three locations over the span of five hours. Several uber passengers have come forward with receipts showing 45yearold jason dalton gave them rides after the initial shooting began. Investigators have no motive. Dalton has two children ages 15 and 10 and has been married 20 years. A man from denver made an gotten him in trouble with the federal government. Kenneth francis went online saying he would buy guns for convicted felons for a fee in a rant about the 2nd amendment. Francis said everyone has a right to bear arms regardless of criminal history. Im getting sick and tired of all this crap thats going on. Its really starting to pis me off. So if you happen to sell any or whatever, contact me. The atf did an undercover buy with francis. He is now in federal custody under indictment for the illegal sale and could face up to 10 years in prison. A lone gunman entered the school. I looked over and then theres a kid laying in the grass shot. I think i was just in shock to believe it was actually a gunshot. The cop came in and took us out, a real situation instead of just a drill. It was kind of scary. Weve had six School Shootings between 1999 and 2013 in colorado and thats 18 killed and 34 wounded. These are rare events, i dont know, about every 2. 3 years since the columbine tragedy. To me thats not rare. 18 killed, 34 wounded in School Shootings in colorado begs the question do your kids know what to do in case a shooter walks into their school . Experts say they should. A 9 want to know investigation found many dont 9wants to know investigation found many dont. 9news justice reporter Anastasiya Bolton has asked all 198 School Districts in colorado what theyre doing to keep kids safe. Students scattered as a man with a high powered rifle opens fire. A promises is a powerful thing. When something actually happens, i promised the kid i would do something, so i did. This math teacher tackled a gunman fired at his middle krieg students. He did that because he promised creek students. He did that because he promised. Was brave and i think no, i was calculating. I calculated and made sure that i could take him down at the safest moment possible. That day wasnt only the promise that pushed him to act, it was training. By the time the shooting happened the school had been doing lockdown drills for two years. Its important training for the kids to do. Its important for them to do it young so that when they get to middle school or high school, they know what to do. Nelson mandela every remember we did a lockdown remember we did a lockdown kind of quick. Reporter teaching them what to do, to be as safe as possible. If they try to push on the door, we ignore all of that. Reporter its part of the schools promise. Lock down like out of sight. It starts with making sure that your students and your staff know what to do in a crisis. Reporter John Macdonald is responsible for the safety of all students at Jefferson County schools. They train all kids all ages. Police officer, its okay. You can come out now. Reporter twice a year. Shooter drills, lockdown drills that involve students and staff to protect themselves if that threat arrives on their doorstep. Reporter if the district that experienced columbine and deer creek does this kind of training, youd think all schools would follow its lead, but 9wants to know found they arent and no one is keeping track. Only 75 tell us their Preparedness Plan includes how to respond to an active shooter. Less than that say they train their students and staff more than once or twice a year with nearly 40 refusing to tell us how often they train or train less than once a year, but probably the most disturbing thing we found, two School Districts have not conducted this kind of training. I dont want to go through an active shooter. Thats a tough thing to do. Reporter randy holman is the superintend enter in holody superintendent of holly he doesnt have the extra staff to coordinate adderall and doesnt know how to do one. When do coordinator a drill and doesnt know how to do one. When do you do it, how, who do you involve . I know that we need to do a drill. I know we need to keep up. Reporter we took our findings to the Colorado Department of education and its commissioner Rich Crandall who knows the department has no authority to force schools like holly to do the drill. We dont have a budget for it. It would be poppy cock to say we dont need to do anything. Reporter do you think its important to train the kids what to do in the case where an armed gunman walks into a school . We definitely have a responsibility to spread the training across the state because that has to be second do. This is a safety drill, lock, lights, out of sight. Reporter but there seems to be a disconnect between what the state and the School District say they should be if someone with a gun were to come into school, would they know what to do . I dont think so. Honestly i dont think that they would. Im not sure what i would do. You dont train for your best day. You train for your worst day. Reporter the math teacher who tackled the gunman at deer creek would tell you it takes consistent repeated training to know what to do. Arent we supposed to be preparing the kids for life . Dont these things happen other places other than schools now . I want to congratulate all of you on your excellent work during the lockdown drill. You did phenomenal. Thats two thumbs way up. Reporter the responsibility to keep kids safe outside the home starts at the school. We have to be quiet when were in a lockdown. Reporter its a promise. The question is how the schools and the state can keep their word because if we havent figured that out nearly 20 years since columbine, will we ever . The threat that we face today is much more realistic. Its on our doorstep. We have an obligation and duty reporter no state laws fight what constitutes a lockdown drill, how to train or whether kids should participate. One reason for that is colorados commitment to local control. This isnt about picking on holly. They came to the plate and said they want to do the drills in the future. Other School Districts wouldnt even talk to you. Yeah. They completely shut us off. Were a publicly funded institution, but were refusing to even answer a yes or no tiontiso yes, kudos to holly and its not that the superintendent doesnt want to do it. He gets that he has to, but between coaching kids, battleground a superintendent, trying to find being a superintendent, trying to find extra teachers after a bunch of them quit, he does not have the time or expertise. Theyre four hours away from denver. So it would take someone driving there and helping them out. The state doesnt compile this information. You did and took it to the i took it to the state and said listen. Heres whats going on and are you disturbed by this and to the credit of a brandnew commissioner of education, he said were going to do something and we asked just recently before the story was airing and he said that they already. So the commissioner asked the Department Leadership to begin working on how cde can do more to insure schools are safe. They cant legislate it. They cant make anyone do do best practice. Were going to Start Talking about some solutions tomorrow night. Thank you. Still ahead at 10 00 back to the snow, kathy has a look at what to expect. I70 reopens for a few hours in glenwood springs. Strange sounds from the dark side of the moon, what astronauts heard nearly 50 years ago this we are hearing for the first time. And speaking of strange and the 1st half is over for there is a trickle of traffic getting through Glenwood Canyon on i70 overnight. There are two hour delays as the pilot car leads cars eastbound and westbound and rock fall mitigation resumes with daylight. Traffic goes back to a five hour detour at this point. Cdot still has a long slog to repair damage from the recent rockslide. Were just now getting to hear them. The apollo astronauts recorded them on the dark side of the moon in 1969. The recordings were not classified. Nasas History Office says there was simply no way to get them to the public before the internet. Nasa compiled the recordings so you can hear what they heard and their reactions. [ space sounds ] that even sound outer sound . The astronauts describe the sounds as weird, outer spacey and eerie. One of the men on the next mission Michael Collins said the noise was just interference between the lunar modules and radios in the other parts of the ship. Fast forward to 2016 and nasa addressing the 800pound gorilla in the room. The gorilla is a gag gift sent from mark kelly to his brother scott kelly who is close to completing a year in space. Scott had way too much fun wearing the suit and chasing the other astronauts around in zero gravity. He is set to return to earth march 1st. People say scientists are boring. Thats so awesome. Im meteorologist kathy sabine outside in the 9news backyard where weve had kind of a wet sloppy snow coming down. Now its all snow and let up considerably. Youll need to allow for a little extra time tomorrow morning. As we look now, the streets are north and south of the city, 51 downtown, close to 60 in southeastern colorado. Compare those numbers to the average, 47, and well be cooler than that tomorrow. Plenty cool at dia, about freezing with northwest winds at 9 here in the 9news backyard. We kind of had this rain snow mix because temperatures have hovered between 31 and 35 degrees. Earlier with the first front we watched the snow showers drift north to south. Now theyre moving northeast back toward the southwest. So all the heavy snow now is falling west of i25. Thats the trend throughout the evening, although we should see a burst of moderate snow in denver overnight. There will be initial melting but could get a couple of snow by morning. I70 reports of icy and snowpacked roadways with a Winter Weather advisory out for the areas in blue, 4 to 8 inches of snow to freshen up the snowpack at many of your favorite resorts. Heaviest snow south of trinidad where a winter storm warning the advisories outside our citys border west of i25 and generally above about 7,000 feet. The storm moves out, not terribly cold and a quick mover. Problem is it heads into the southwest pulling the cold air with it and colliding with all the warm moist gulf air down there. Thats when well really see kind of this Severe Weather outbreak tomorrow. That will be our big weather story. We have High Pressure setting up. The snow ends mid morning, but even with afternoon sunshine high temperatures tomorrow are cool and that cool air invading the southwest, southern plain states and the midwest. Tonight were watching the heaviest snow bands push back towards the foothills and drop south. By 9 30 snow ends, sunny skies for lower elevations. A few additional snow showers and the southern mountains will see additional snow as well. The front range futurecast, the heaviest snow is in the areas shaded purple. Snow tapers off, might see a quick round for the start of the drive and were done by midmorning tomorrow. This is really the only one were tracking. Models have an inch of snow in denver tonight to almost 4 and i think some of it is just lost to melting because its not been an overly cold storm. Well look for lows in the teens in the high country, 20s for lower elevations. High temperatures tomorrow not terribly warm, a little cooler. Them the trend is warming for the rest of week. Weve got 60s in the planning forecast. Allow for a little extra time. Tomorrow morning. Some areas will have a more difficult driving experience than others. Cloudy, cold tonight, 20, snow showers, melting in the city. Clearing midmorning, sunshine, 40 tomorrow afternoon. In the midweek we have a little jump in temperature. The end of the week numbers rise. The next storm brings a chance for rain and snow sunday night, temperatures rebounding nicely by the time you head into monday and tuesday. With this storm creating wonderful sunrise and sunset pictures. Dont forget to keep sending those in of. Stay tuned. From colorado sports leader heres drew soicher. Hi, everybody. Its halftime and the broncos are still waiting for peyton. 15 of the 30 days between the end of the super bowl and start of the Nfl Free Agency period has passed and still no he plans to retire or continue playing professional football. Of course, if the broncos rush disrespectful. Klis and tell. Think about this. Manning. Hes been playing quarterback since the womb and now you dont want to give him three weeks to make up his mind to decide whether or not hes never ever going to play quarterback again . Its a very difficult decision. I think its tough for Peyton Manning to give up something that hes only known to do for the first 40 years of his life. He turns 40 on march 24th. This decision is about never playing quarterback again. So hes wanting to take another week or two. Fair enough. But whats so peculiar about all the drama surrounding this decision, mike, is that it doesnt really affect the broncos either way. Theyre moving on regardless, right . They are. Although they do want in deference to manning to give him the chance to retire on his having to make a difficult decision by march 8th to release him. However, they are going to start going down the other train tracks and Start Talking with Brock Osweiler during his agent jimmy sextons nfl scouting combine that begins tomorrow. So they have put off talks with osweiler in deference to Peyton Manning. My prediction is manning will make his decision around march 1st and by then the broncos want to have a little bit going with Brock Osweiler, but the full expectation is the broncos will sign brock and he will be their quarterback in 2016. 9news is airing a really cool pregame special saturday at 5 30 before the avalanche red wings outdoor game complete with great interviews from all the key players in the rivalry. This is kind of neat. At coors field this morning the ice crew rolled out nhl stadium series logo fabric at center which will freeze over on top. This part of the project was planned for late tonight, but then kathy sabine opened her mouth. Once we saw the forecast that was coming our way we tried to really push hard to get some of those in so we could be ahead of that so really we can focus on snow removal and those times of things once that comes. Its also going to to 8 into our product time overnight tonight. So eat into our production time overnight tonight. Its all your fault again. Hopefully the rockies dont read newspapers because the usa today in the lobby of their hotel in scottsdale is picking them to finish in last place with 100 losses. Rox made the playoffs three times since joining the major leagues, kathleen, but are still searching for their first west championship. Kind of tough to convince anybody it will happen this season, but optimism is what makes spring training so much fun. Our goal every single year play good baseball and weve got, you know, were winning, losing, a lot of that is dependent on the details of the day to day and how you play the game. You know, so we have certain things that were going to have to do better in order to make that a reality for us, but our focus is not necessarily from day one on any sort of win total or anything like that. It is how can we possibly put together a team that can play the best baseball most consistently from the start of the season to the end of the season . Well kind of go from there. Yeah, see, consistent baseball. The San Francisco giants are division. The dodgers still have a Terrific Team even though they lost zack greinke. Theres the old music when you hit the bottle there, the old theme music, and the diamondbacks got way better because they picked up zack greinke and the rockies did nothing except pick up a suspended, so doesnt look good right now. I think theyve got a great plan, though, and the right attitude. New photos, taylor swift walks down the aisle. Maid of honor at her best friends wedding, but where was now on extra.
