woman. and they allege that the city of denver has policies that treats them unfairly. they say these policies stretch back for a couple of years. and mainly, it was brought to a head, with the homeless sweeps that started happening a few months ago, and in which the city was clearing out sidewalks, and taking away all of the grocery carts and trash bags and things that you see, possessions, and personal property, and even some medical records, of homeless people, who were treated unfairly. and now in this lawsuit, it says the city committed acts that were quote willful, wanton, malicious, and invasive. and they violated the fourth amendment rights against unlawful search and seizure according to the lawsuit and detailed several distances where those possessions were taken away. and this is in opposition of denver's homeless camping ban, or camping ban on a sidewalk or an open area, with so much as a jack over them, because that would be -- jacket over them because that would be considered urban camping. the lawsuit says the mayor has refused to meet with the parties involved with this and that is why they are pushing forward. but the mayor's office, the city and county of denver, their representatives have talked extensively about reducing the homeless population and having more permanent shelters and trying to balance it with a growing effects that kind of

warned about this week last week. >> they have to find out on their own. and officials say the release wasn't that big. so they are saying that is why they didn't warrant a public warning. it is the treatment plant says some metals escaped into the colorado creek from a waste water treatment plant after heavy rain near the waste spill. and that is file video from the major spill in 2015. local officials have told the durango herald that release just wasn't big enough to warrant that public advisory. the paper says an internal alert was sent out tuesday with epa staff and local officials but the epa did not notify the the heavy rains caused an overflow and released discolored water into cement creek on tuesday. and the environmental protection agency has not said what metals they were or how much was released into the waters near the gold king mine. and the agency says the metals have been at least partially treated and officials say it was created in two hours. and the epa-led crew inadvertently triggered that 3 million-gallon spill in the mine in august of 2015 and that in colorado, new mexico, and utah as well. and while officials have continued to look for a long- term solution from that spill, that treatment plant, that was set up, and installed to clean up water, still flowing from the mine. and of course, on tuesday, that is when that overflow, due to those heavy rains, in the area, occurred. >> colleen, amazing what heavy rains can do. >> thank you very much, vida. fort collins police have shot and killed an armed suspect. police say the man broke into a

meetings with him and didn't get response and that's why the lawsuit comes into play. it specifically named the mayor as well as his chief of staff, and it also names the police chief, and several other people, denver public works, and the city itself. and it is being filed on behalf of nine homeless people who say that their items were illegally taken as part of those sweeps. and now those sweeps began a few instances in which people say everything from medical records to military papers and personal possessions and cell phones were taken during the sweeps. here is why the city started doing these sweeps. because a lot of these items were blocking the sidewalks. and people couldn't get by. and you probably have seen it downtown. an overwhelming pile of things that accumulate on the sidewalk. and so that is why the city started clearing this out. saying they are going to take this to a warehouse and then give people time to reclaim it. and give those items back. we t alleges that those items were never returned. as a matter of fact, that is one of the things that they're seeking in this suit, the return of those items, if they haven't been destroyed, to the people who had them seized. they are seeking an injunction, against the city's sweeping efforts. they want to stop what they call those illegal search and seizures and they want that policy just basically to be null and void. they say it doesn't just limit to the city homeless sweeps. this also they say has been happening for a couple of years downtown denver. and corey, if you can imagine, it is a problem, a lot of growing cities face, and when they have increasing homeless populations, and also, the desire of developers to build and to improve the city, and they have to figure out a way to balance that, and

went downhill. >> i love my work family but i love sleep just a little more. >> sure. >> and so i would have to say, i would take 25 hours hands down. >> sure. >> and get paid the same or do they cut your pay in half, too? >> i need to get paid. got to pay the rent. >> there is that. hot apple cider today. ice cream tomorrow. it will feel cool. a cloudy start to the day today, it will break up the clouds by midday and then bring back some thunderstorms later in the day. there is a pretty nicely defined system that is moving through colorado today. and that will help kick off some showers, and now it is drier to the west. you can see so few clouds in nevada and colorado this morning. and that air is moving our way for the weekend. so midday, it can be very nice. very small isolated showers, race on through, they will be in and out of here before sunset, and rain amounts, generally less than a tenth an inch. north and east of fort morgan and into nebraska, the storms are stronger. 70s for highs. and 60s in the foothills. and statewide, not really much happening, in the valleys, and western colorado, until very late tonight. and the northeastern, east central and southeastern colorado with some areas with an inch of rain and some hail. there is a severe weather threat over the northeast and southeast corners of the state. we will be in the 60s and 70s along i-80. and 70s here, and 60s in the mountains. and 75, midday clearing, and clouds now, clouds again late this afternoon, with light showers. we get those out of here early this evening and clear out and drop down and feel like fall 80 plus the next several days. smaller storm chance next week. and by the middle of next week, no doubt, it is still summer. >> i mentioned in my last update there was a fuel spill in colorado springs. i have more details on exactly which areas this is affecting. because this rollover crash, this tanker took place right along the motor city road that runs parallel to i-25, south of cimarron, the tanker truck overturned, fuel spilled, so the monument creek area, south of motor are not supposed to go in the creek this morning or use water from the creek. that information just came from the folks in the spring and please take notice there, it could be pretty dangerous with all of the fuel going into the water. we have also got new updates on the estimated delays, regarding the train to the plane and they are experiencing some operational difficulties at two stations, 40th and airport, as well as pena. and with all of that in mind, the increases now, for westbound folks, 20 to 25 minutes, on that delay time, for eastbound drivers, or minute delay. and it is hopefully going to get wrapped up by 7:45 this morning. that's the latest estimate. colleen, other than, that we have a rollover crash. along our federal, or santa fe drive, excuse me, right around florida south of i-25 as well as that eastbound i-70 crash at vasquez. >> there is a little bit of way too much red peeking in through the greens. thank you, amelia. >> and 9 neighborhoods taking to you engelwood this week. the city of denver's neighbor to the south. the city is home to is so many good restaurants. if you have been there, you know. but there is really one lunch place that kathie 180 has a unique concept. no prices for the food. pay what you can if you can. if you can't pay for the meal, you exchange your time, volunteering in the restaurant for a meal and always on a mission to feed the hungry in their neighborhood and volunteers and donations help keep the operation running and they get a lot of produce from the local community gardens. the best part of the concept are the success stories from some of the volunteers. >> they will use this as a reference, as they work to go out of a job, and that part has been cool, too. but just, i think just in general, it has been kind of a blessing to be able to help families that come through. >> each year, the cafe also hosts a free thanksgiving feast for the entire community. and guys, this is a concept that is growing and we have the cafe in denver and the one in fort collins and you asked me, how much do you know how to give, you give what your heart tells you to give. >> i love this idea. >> yes. >> and what a great thing. >> and some that makes up for other people who come in and can't afford a meal. >> keeps them in business. >> very cool. >> thanks, colleen. >> so interesting. all right, let's get a last check of our weekend forecast. >> all right, we are going to look ahead into the weekend, with a couple of storms late tomorrow, and foothills storms sunday. and it gets very warm, during the middle of next week, and stays up there, fairly warm, through the afternoon. and so right toward the end of next week. mid to upper 80s, which is a little above average. >> and summer is coming back. cider, hot cocoa days. >> we will have a lot of that. >> mornings are nice and cool. you may have seen this. but in case you haven't, an oregon woman's dog had a good job of freaking out neighbors and put a lion mane on her 200- pound giant mass tiff, and left him out in the yard and quite the surprise for passer-byes as you can imagine. and we don't blame them and he look like a lion. and we are not celebrating lions though. we are national dog day and have you been sending in so many great pictures and we love seeing them and brandy, thank you so much, and pampering your pooch, and we asked you on facebook, how do you spoil your dog? we have awesome answers. there is baron. starting to get old but loves midnight walks along cherry creek. love that. keep them coming. use the hashtag #be on 9. >> they are adorable. >> we have 300 pictures. >> unbelievable. >> just this morning. guys, congratulations. >> congratulations, you made it through the week. going to extremes, both donald trump and hillary clinton now accusing each other of racism. trump doubling down. clinton launching a new ad tying trump to the k. at this point is really treason toour heritage. >> just how low can they go? ominous threat that powerful storm system looms in the atlantic. will it gain strength or weaken as it heads toward florida? tens of millions in its path, keeping a close eye on what it will do next. murder mystery, two nuns who dedicated their lives to helping others killed in their own home. no known suspects, no known
